MOTHER SAVAGELY BEATEN IN BALI

HER BODY WAS THEN STUFFED INTO A SUITCASE

HM (28), a Chicago resident, was sentenced in mid-January to 26 years prison for conspiring with her boyfriend to kill her mother while the mother and daughter were vacationing in Bali, back in 2014.

In a series of text messages, HM conspired with her boyfriend to kill the victim by suffocating or beating her. After the mother was savagely beaten to death, the pair then stuffed the woman’ body into a suitcase and were caught after they abandoned the luggage in a taxicab.

In a written statement, Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, noted that HM “planned to violently murder her own mother while on vacation in Bali …. In Bali, [HM] stood by while her mother was savagely beaten to death and then callously and unsuccessfully tried to dispose of her mother’s body. This significant sentence holds the defendant to account for this heinous crime. The department will continue to pursue justice for Americans, both at home and abroad.”

Talk about a suitcase full of troubles ….
