Illinois Father Convicted of Murdering Teen Daughter Over Prom Dispute

Mohammed Almaru found guilty of first-degree murder after beating 17-year-old Mia Maro to death in 2022.

Prosecutors revealed Almaru initially allowed his daughter to attend prom but later changed his mind.
Maro was discovered by her aunt, covered in bruises and with severe head injuries.
Almaru admitted to losing control after finding messages on Maro's phone that he believed were deceitful.
First responders found Almaru with self-inflicted wounds and evidence of multiple objects used in the assault.
The court will review post-trial motions on October 7, with a sentencing date yet to be set.
