American ‘hitwoman’ on the run after alleged murder-for-hire plot in UK exposed

Facebook messages from Thursday obtained by the Daily Mail showed Betro, a Wisconsin native, claiming there was a lot of "misinformation" going around online about the case, and that there was "nothing" her friend could do to help. Betro's mother, who also only recently found out that her daughter was living a double life as a suspected murderer-for hire, urged her to come clean and said that she would turn her in if she decided to come home.

The incident in question took place in September 2019. Betro had allegedly been hired by Mohammed Nazir, 30, and is 56-year-old father Mohammed Aslam to kill boutique clothing store owner Sikander Ali. She disguised herself in a hijab and pulled up to Ali's house, where she proceeded to fire a gun in his direction. The gun jammed, however, and she fled the scene. She returned a short time later in a taxi and fired three shots towards the house.

This past week on Facebook, the friend began by asking Betro what she was up to, to which the suspected hitwoman replied, "Dude, I saw, like wtf I don't even know where to start with all the misinformation that's said about me. It's a f*cking sh*t show." When asked if there was anything he could do, she said "idk" and ended the conversation with a heart.

He later told the outlet that he was just one of the many people she has been talking to, noting that her best friend speaks with her every day. "She's using her phone every day, she's taking pictures out of her apartment window, snapchatting people all the time."

The friend went on to question why she hadn't been picked up after five years, noting that if "police really wanted to catch her, they'd already have her." He said she "acknowledges she was involved" but that "some of the details aren't right."

In an interview with the Times, Betro's mother, Jeanne Johnson, said her daughter "just got up and left" five years ago. She urged her to "turn herself in," warning that she was "going to run out of places to hide."

"If she comes here, I'm not letting her in," Johnson added. "I will call the police. I'm afraid somebody's after her ... She's got to stop running. She's got to pay the price."

The duo who allegedly hired Betro, Mohammed Nazir and his 56-year-old father Mohammed Aslam, were recently found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and are scheduled to be sentenced on August 9.
