World News | Heather Mack, Convicted in Bali of Killing Mom and Stuffing Body in Suitcase, Pleads Guilty in US

Chicago, Jun 16 (AP) The daughter of an American woman whose body was found stuffed inside a suitcase at an Indonesian resort island changed her plea to guilty in Chicago federal court on Friday on charges that she helped kill her mother during a luxury vacation to Bali nine years ago.

Heather Mack was convicted in Indonesia in 2015 of being an accessory to Sheila von Wiese-Mack's murder with her then-boyfriend in a bid to gain access to a $1.5 million trust fund.

Mack served seven years before being deported in 2021 and U.S. agents arrested her immediately after her plane landed in Chicago.

The change-of-plea hearing is the latest chapter in a story that drew international attention in part because of photographs of the suitcase, which seemed too small to hold an adult woman's body. (AP)
