Woman who said she was arrested for being good-looking facing MURDER charge for ‘killing her mother’

A Las Vegas woman who weeks ago accused cops of arresting her for being too ‘good looking’ has now been accused of murdering her mother.

Police began looking for Hend Bustami, 28, after the body of her 62-year-old mother was discovered in a Las Vegas home early Wednesday morning.

Bustami was detained hours later at about 5am in Barstow, California. The motive remains unclear.

She made headlines in August after she was arrested at the Harry Reid Airport in Las Vegas after trying to skip out on a tab at a Chili’s restaurant.

Bustami was reportedly belligerently drunk, and police said as she was being detained she claimed ‘she was being harassed because cops [had] never seen anyone as pretty as her.’

Police said Hend Bustami, 28, murdered her 62-year-old mother sometime on Wednesday morning. She was arrested last month for misconduct at the Harry Reid International Airport in August. Her mugshot from that arrest is above

The Las Vegas home where Bustami’s mother was found stabbed to death early Wednesday morning

Bustami’s mother was discovered inside a house on June Flower Drive just after 2:30am Wednesday morning, suffering from ‘multiple deep lacerations.’  

Las Vegas Metro Police Lieutenant Dave Valenta said police received a 9-11 call from a woman claiming her mother was dead.  

‘At approximately 2:30 in the morning, a 911 dispatcher received a phone call from a frantic female stating that her mother was dead,’ Valenta said. ‘Then the line was disconnected.’

Police said Bustami will be returned to Las Vegas and could be charged with open murder, meaning the degree of her charge has yet to be determined.

Bustami was arrested at Harry Reid Intenational Airport and booked with misconduct on August 31.

LVMPD said they received a report that Bustami walked out on a tab at the Chili’s restaurant inside the airport, and officers later found the woman ‘belligerent’ after stalling operations near a security checkpoint.

As the officers took her into custody, they said Bustami threatened to spit on them as she called them ‘perverts’ and claimed they were ‘trying to rape her because they never seen anyone as good-looking.’

She was due to appear in court today for charges related to the incident. 

Bustami is a graduate of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas who earned a degree in Hospitality Administration and Management, according to her LinkedIn account.

She also DJs under the name Afrodyte.
