The Chicago woman convicted of killing her socialite mother and stuffing her body in a suitcase at a luxury resort in Bali was granted early release from an Indonesian prison after serving nearly a decade behind bars, officials said.
Heather Mack, now 25, and who was serving a 10-year prison sentence, is expected to be freed in October, nearly three years early. According to Mack’s U.S.-based attorney, Vanessa Favia, she became eligible for release this year because of good behavior, but is unsure if she will seek to get custody of her daughter back from the foster family who has had her all these years.
