Hend Bustami Sentenced To 15 Years To Life For Murdering Her Mother, Afaf Hussanen

A 29-year-old woman from Las Vegas named Hend Bustami who bragged about being too pretty to be arrested has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to killing her mother, 61-year-old Afaf Hussanen. She pleaded “guilty but mentally ill” to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon. On the night of the murder, Bustami called 911 and calmly confessed to killing her mother, stating she “broke the table on her head” and “cut her neck off.” She was later found by California Highway Patrol officers more than 150 miles away from the scene, covered in blood and again admitting to the killing.Bustami’s mental health was a significant factor in her case. Her public defender noted that a psychologist found her experiencing “intermittent exacerbations of psychosis” and in need of psychiatric treatment.
