Heather Mack: US woman pleads guilty over mother’s suitcase murder
Mack pleads guilty in Chicago to conspiring to kill Sheila von Wiese-Mack in Bali in 2014 to gain access to $1.5m trust fund
An American woman accused of helping to kill her mother and stuffing her body in a suitcase during a luxury vacation to Bali nine years ago changed her plea to guilty in Chicago federal court on Friday. Her lawyer said later she hoped to avoid a sentence of life behind bars by doing so.
Heather Mack pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to kill Sheila von Wiese-Mack to get access to a $1.5m trust fund. Mack, then 18 and pregnant, covered her mom’s mouth in a hotel room while her then boyfriend Tommy Schaefer bludgeoned her with a fruit bowl, prosecutors say.
