CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A 10-year sentence in a Bali prison has been reduced for a Chicago area woman convicted in Indonesia of assisting in the murder of her mother.
A total of three people are serving sentences for their involvement in the 2014 murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase in the trunk of a parked taxi near a Bali resort.
Robert Bibbs is serving nine years for planning the killing, Tommy Schaefer, now 28, is serving 18 years for following through with that plan, and von Wiese-Mack's own daughter, Heather Mack, was to serve 10 years for assisting her then-boyfriend Schaefer. But prison officials in Indonesia told the Associated Press that Mack has shown to be a good person and will be coming home early deserving of 34 months and sentence reductions.
Mack, who gave birth in prison to her and Schaefer's daughter, Stella, in March 2015, will be released from the Kerobokan Female Prison in Bali and deported to the U.S. on Oct. 29.
Mack, her mother and Schaeffer were all Oak Park residents.
