An American woman has denied trying to shoot a man at close range outside his house in a Birmingham cul-de-sac saying she was too fat to be a person caught on CCTV running away afterwards.
Giving evidence in court on Tuesday, Aimee Betro, 45, said she was not the woman dressed in a niqab seen attempting to fire a weapon at Sikander Ali. It jammed and he escaped in his car.
After being shown footage of the incident showing a figure getting out of a Mercedes and approaching Mr Ali with gun drawn, she was asked by defence barrister Paul Lewis KC: 'Is that you?
Betro, in a black top, glasses and with her hair styled in two ‘space buns’ on the top of her head, replied ‘no’.
Mr Lewis said: 'Do you know who it is? She replied again ‘no’.
