The UK court heard that the father and son duo harbored a grudge against Ali’s family following a violent dispute at his boutique clothing store in Birmingham, central England. The altercation had left Nazir and Aslam injured, with their shop windows smashed and the interior “trashed.”
Seeking revenge, the pair allegedly arranged for Betro to fly from the United States to Birmingham to kill Ali and his family. The plot’s details, as revealed in court, painted a picture of deep-seated animosity and a meticulously planned vendetta.

Betro’s first attempt to carry out the revenge killing against Aslat Mahamud and his relatives occurred after a 2018 dispute at a jewelry store had left Nazir and Aslam injured.
Approaching Ali with a gun, Betro pointed it at his head, but the weapon jammed, allowing Ali to flee.
Undeterred, Betro allegedly went to Mahamud’s house the next morning and fired three shots before sending taunting texts to Mahamud: “Stop playing hide and seek” and “Where are you hiding?” Fortunately, no one was injured.
