Woman to face trial over shopkeeper murder plot

by Anthony

An American woman accused of plotting to murder a shop owner and members of his family in the UK is to face trial this summer.

Aimee Betro, 45, was charged after a man was threatened at gunpoint in South Yardley, Birmingham, in September 2019.

She has previously denied conspiracy to murder, possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, and a separate charge related to the alleged importation of ammunition into the UK.

Ms Betro, originally from the US state of Wisconsin, appeared before Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday when the case was adjourned for trial on 21 July.
