Published: 8/21/2025

US hitwoman Aimee Betro, involved in a botched assassination attempt in the UK, sentenced to 30 years in prison after conviction for conspiracy to murder. The failed plot targeted a British family in Birmingham in 2019, where Betro's gun jammed while attempting the crime. Alongside two accomplices, Betro orchestrated the attempted killing, evading capture for almost five years before being sentenced by the Birmingham Crown Court.
