Plumber tried to hire hitman to kill his wife and 6 children in Alabama after series of arsons and beatings, FBI says

A plumber in Hoover, Alabama, attempted to hire a hitman to murder his wife and six children, according to to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Mohammad AH Mohammad, 63, was reportedly filmed on Saturday while he was trying to arrange murders with an undercover FBI employee, posing as a hitman.

“God will reward me,” Muhammad responded on the recording.

“Six children and the mother. You choose who you take and get paid,” Mohammad said after saying they had turned on him, according to a sworn statement. He and his wife were in divorce proceedings.

“Start with one,” he is said to have instructed. “Take your time.”

The affidavit states that Mohammad made a $550 down payment to the fake hitman and agreed to pay $20,000 for the murder of his wife and $5,000 for each murder of his adult children.

The Public Prosecution Service played audio of an interaction between a witness and Mohammed.

The witness told the man that if he hurt his family he would “go to hell forever.”

“No, God will reward me,” Muhammad responded on the recording.

The affidavit alleged that Mohammad had committed violent and intimidating acts against his family for years. The couple had married in 2020, and less than a year later the woman had filed for a protective order against him.

She accused Mohammad in the affidavit of threatening to kill her and her children, physically abusing her and threatening her with a gun. He is suspected of stalking them and setting fire to multiple vehicles. After he was released on bail in February, he sought someone to kill his family, the affidavit said.

He reportedly told a witness that he was prepared to “die for his own dignity” and “die for his pride.”

Mohammad was arrested on Tuesday and charged with using interstate commerce facilities to commit murder with order.
