Criminal Case Involving TikTok Scammers

So, this wannabe Tik Tocker is now going to prison for life. Now, his name's Muhammad, and Muhammad is 26 during this time, and he works in London as a delivery driver for a kebab restaurant. And bro loves to make Tik Toks, mostly just videos of him acting like a goofy ass and doing whatever the hell this is and whatever the hell this is. Yeah, it seems like he aspires to be an influencer. But one day in 2021, he's at the kebab restaurant and he meets this woman, Louise. And Louise is 71. She's a businesswoman and she eats at the restaurant a lot. And soon she becomes friendly with Mohammad and this other guy who works at the restaurant, Aljandi. And Aljandi is 23 and he's a cook at the kebab place. And bro is kind of a sketchy dude. Like he's always trying to con people. And over time, Muhammad and Aljandi start to notice Louise got money. like she's kind of rich. She owns a few super nice properties in London worth4.6 million or about $6.1 million US and she really wants to sell these properties so that she can give the money to her adult children. And Aljandi and Muhammad learn this about her and they're like jackpot and they decide they're going to not only scam her but murder her. And so over the next few months, they spend time becoming friends with her, particularly Aljandi. And Al Jundi convinces Louise that he is this wealthy businessman, a highranking property developer who is also a chef at a kebab restaurant. I I don't know actually how that works, but over time, he convinces her that he works in real estate and that he wants to help her out. Specifically, he tells her that he has this super rich girlfriend who would love to buy her two London properties off of her for way above market value and that he wants to do it in such a way that she won't have to pay taxes on it. And Louise is like, "Sounds dope." And she goes and she tells her family and friends about the deal. And her family and friends are like, "No, this all sounds very shady." But unfortunately, I guess Louise isn't hearing them. For some reason, she trusts Al Jundy. So, Al Jundy tells Louise that she first needs to transfer the properties to him and put them in his name, and he'll take care of the rest. And if she does that, she will eventually get this big lump sum of cash. Then, Al Jundy goes to hire a lawyer to help him prepare this paperwork. And the lawyer looks at all this and he's like, "No, bro. You're obviously scamming this woman." In fact, several different lawyers turn him down because they can see this whole thing is sketchy. But eventually, he does get the paperwork done. And before the deal is finalized, he talks Louise into giving him the keys to one of the properties. And immediately, Aljandi lets Mohammed move in there without Louise's knowledge. And this is great news for Muhammad. Like, he moves in and he starts living rentree. He starts making videos in this place, like showing it off on TikTok like he owns it. But here's where things get dark. These idiots think that if they murder Louise that they can then permanently own her two houses. So, a few weeks later, Al Jundy sets up a meeting with Louise at one of her London properties to finalize their deal. He says there'll be a lawyer there and his rich girlfriend who wants to buy the properties will be there and they'll close this deal and be done. And so Louise shows up and of course there's no lawyer there. There's no rich girlfriend there. Only Mohamad Aljandi and this other girl they've been hanging out with. Her name's Maria. Maria is their friend and she appears in Muhammad's Tik Tok sometimes. And so anyway, Louise shows up and they all chat for a bit and then Aljandi and Maria leave. And Al Jundy takes Maria to a local jewelry store and I guess he buys her some jewelry or something. And then I guess he drives her home. But what he's really trying to do is create himself an alibi for this murder that's about to happen. Meanwhile, Mohammad is still at the house with Louise alone. And he waits until she isn't paying attention. And then he grabs a haird dryer and suddenly bam, he starts strangling her with the cord. And she tries to fight him. and she struggles but it's no use. Muhammad is way stronger and unfortunately he unalivives her. Then Aljandi arrives back at the property where Muhammad is. Then he and Muhammad leave and they go to the kebab shop where they work and they pick up some cleaning supplies. And this is actually security footage of them outside the restaurant. Then they go back and clean up the crime scene. They wrap Louisa's body in a duvet and they dump her into one of those wheeled garbage bins. Next, they cover the body in the can with leaves and lawn clippings. Then, they get Louisa's phone and they start pretending to be her and they send texts to Louise's family and friends telling them that I'm totally fine and I've decided to go to China, but I'll be back soon. They're obviously trying to explain her sudden disappearance. Now, at this point, they have to get rid of Louise's car, too, her black BMW, because it's evidence. And so, Muhammad puts it up for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and he sells it way under market value. So, it sells fast within like 2 days. And then he takes that money, and he goes and he buys a bunch of new clothes, and then he makes Tik Toks of himself showing off those clothes. Did bro really just unal alive someone and then buy himself a Calvin Klein fanny pack? Anyway, not to mention if you look at the background of this Tik Tok, this one in particular was shot at Louisa's property after she was murdered. Now, that will obviously come into play later. Meanwhile, Louisa's family is freaking out like she's missing. No one has seen her for a few days, which is very unlike her. And the texts they're getting from her phone are kind of weird. like she's saying she's going to China. Not only that, these texts don't sound like her at all. Louise is 71 years old. These messages feel like they were written by a teenager. So immediately her family knows something is up. Now, at some point, someone goes to the police and reports Louise missing, probably her family. And so police start investigating. And of course, one of the first things they do is they go to the property she owns to see if she's there. And so they go to this property that Mohamad has low-key been living at this whole time. And so police see that he's living there and they're like, "Uh, I thought this place was supposed to be vacant." And they end up searching the house. And they find some pieces of evidence, including a sweatshirt with blood on it. And they take it and they get it tested for DNA. And guess whose DNA they find on it? Louise. Combine that with Tik Toks Muhammad posted of himself dancing outside of her house after she was murdered and now Muhammad is a suspect. And police know that Muhammad and Aljandi are friends. So they go and they search Aljandi's house. And there they find the wheeled garbage bin where the guys had dumped Louise's body. Aljundi had moved it there from the crime scene thinking that no one would find it. Not only that, the day after the murder, Muhammad was giving Maria a ride, driving her home, and his dumb ass confesses to her by joking about it. Like, I can't believe we really un alive to that lady. So, when police question Maria, of course, she's like, "Yeah, he was joking about murdering that woman when he was driving me home the other night." And so, bam, they arrest Muhammad. Here's his mug shot. And also, bam, they arrest Al Jundi, too. Here's his mug shot. And they both go to trial and they're both found guilty. And Muhammad gets sentenced to life in prison. And Aljandi also gets sentenced to life in prison. Good.
