A man in Alabama admitted to trying to hire someone to murder his wife and children.
Mohammad Mohammad, 64, entered a plea to seven counts of murder-for-hire.
According to court documents, in September 2024, Mohammad met with an undercover law enforcement officer who he thought was a hitman. Mohammad discussed with the undercover officer the cost of killing his wife and six adult children.
The person informed law enforcement. An undercover FBI agent then posed as a hitman.
Mohammed allegedly offered to pay the undercover agent $20,000 for the murder of his wife, and an additional $5,000 each for his six children. The motive, according to court records - Mohammad felt his ‘pride and self-dignity’ had been destroyed during the falling out with his family.
“Your money maximum within two weeks,” Mohammad told the FBI informant, according to court records. “Not five [thousand dollars]. Twenty. Because it’s the big head. The others, it’s OK. They are trash. Cockroaches. You know. But this one, deserve more. I give it to you.”
Mohammad’s wife filed the first protection from abuse order roughly eight months after they were married in 2021. Those documents state Mohammad ‘put his hands’ on their children, sending them to the emergency room, threatened to lock the family in the basement and kill them, fired guns at them and put a gun and knife against the children’s heads and throats.
