Nevada Woman Sentenced To 15 Years To Life For Her Mother’s Murder
The woman who once claimed she was arrested because she was too “pretty, ” was sentenced to 15 years to life in relation to he death of her mother, according to reports.
29-year-old Hend Bustami pleaded “guilty, but mentally ill” to second-degree murder in relation to the October 2022 death of 61-year-old Afaf Hussanen in the south Las Vegas home they shared.
A grand jury indicted Bustami on the murder charge in March 2023 and prosecutors played a 911 call made by the suspect made on October 26, 2022 in which she confessed to the incident during the hearing.
“I think I killed my mommy,” Bustami told a dispatcher.
Bustami reportedly broke a glass table over her mother’s head before stabbing her with its shards. The then-28-year-old was arrested in Barstow, California, by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers.
Bustami was previously booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of public misconduct at an airport stemming from an incident in which she was accused of skipping out on the bill at a Chili’s restaurant located in Harry Reid International Airport in August 2022.
Bustami was described as being “belligerent with officers, saying she was being harassed because cops [had] never seen anyone as pretty as her,” when responding officers made contact with her at the airport baggage area.
During her arrest, Bustami threatened to “spit on all [the officers] and that officers were perverts and were trying to rape her because they [had] never seen anyone as good looking,” the report stated.
Police later learned of a warrant issued by the Las Vegas Municipal Court for Bustami’s arrest stemming from a battery charge from June.
Bustami was booked into the Clark County Detention Center in relation to the airport incident and later released.
