Pregnant Teen On Trial In Mother’s Resort Island Killing Says She’s ‘Petrified’

CHICAGO (AP) — A pregnant 19-year-old Chicago woman on trial in Indonesia for the death of her mother says she is innocent and “petrified” about her future.

Heather Mack told the Chicago Tribune ( http://trib.in/1C0FVMg ) in a series of interviews Tuesday that she loved her mother and had no reason to kill her. The remains of her mother, 62-year-old Sheila von Wiese-Mack, were found in a suitcase outside a resort in Bali where she and her daughter were staying in August.

The condo was sold for $610,000, the Sun-Times reports, and Mack’s belongings were sent to her aunt’s house in St. Louis.

Trial proceedings continued Wednesday.
