Heather Mack, 26, killed her mother Sheila von Wise-Mack with her boyfriend while on vacation on the Indonesian island of Bali, stuffed her body into a suitcase and loaded him into a taxi, the US Department of Justice said. .
Mac is due to appear before the U.S. District Court in his hometown of Chicago on Wednesday, it said in a statement.
Following the August 2014 murder, Indonesian authorities arrested Mack and his friend, 28-year-old Tommy Schaefer. Shaffer was sentenced to 18 years in prison for premeditated murder in 2015, while 19-year-old Mac was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accessory to murder.
The U.S. grand jury indictment for 2017, sealed on Wednesday, said Schaffer asked his cousin Ryan Pips about a way to kill Mac and Schaefer before they left the United States to kill Van Wise-Mack . She.
Mac Pips was asked if he knew anyone who would kill his mother for money and pleaded guilty to murdering a U.S. citizen overseas in December 2016, justice said.
Amid the Department’s argument that his plan was planned in the United States, Mack faces two U.S. murder conspiracies and a ban, and the Department says he faces a maximum life sentence if convicted of conspiracy charges.
An Indonesian immigration officer said Mac was deported after his release from prison on October 29 because his permit had expired. Shepherd is in prison.
Mac’s attorney Julius Benjamin Seron was on a flight to Chicago with her daughter when she was born prior to her conviction.
