A besotted American woman who flew to the UK to shoot dead a man's rival in a bid to win his affection after falling for him online has been convicted of conspiracy to murder.
Aimee Betro, 45, wore a niqab in an attempt to disguise her appearance before blasting Sikander Ali, 33, at close range outside his house in September 2019.
He only survived as the gun jammed and he managed to escape in his car but undeterred Betro then returned hours later to fire three shots through the window of his family home.
Miraculously, no one was injured and Betro was able to return to America and then on to Armenia - spending five years on the run before she was eventually tracked down by the Daily Mail and arrested.
She carried out the failed hit for thug Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, who she said she was in love with despite the pair meeting just three times before she tried to kill for him.
