Aimee Betro disguised herself and tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point-blank range when her gun jammed
A would-be assassin who tried to shoot a rival at point-blank range while disguised in a niqab has been found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
Aimee Betro, 45, who is originally from the US, flew to the UK as part of a revenge plot orchestrated by father and son co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 59, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a family they had been feuding with.
Jurors at Birmingham crown court deliberated for 21 hours before finding Betro guilty on the charges of conspiracy to murder, possessing a self-loading pistol with intent to cause fear of violence, and illegally importing ammunition.
The jury, who had been given a majority direction by Judge Drew, found Betro guilty by 11-1 verdicts on the conspiracy to murder and firearm charges, and by a unanimous verdict on the ammunition charge.
