An American heiress who was convicted of murdering her mother in Bali and stuffing her body in a suitcase pleaded guilty to conspiracy in federal court.

Heather Mack, the ‘Suitcase Killer’ who was already convicted in Indonesia for being an accessory to her mother’s murder, changed her plea to guilty after federal investigators charged her with planning the killing the United States.

Mack, 27, appeared before District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Chicago on Friday wearing orange jail attire.

She answered ‘yes, your honor,’ when Kennelly asked her if she understood her charges of conspiracy to kill a US national.
