The prosecutor’s office says investigators determined that Kuet was looking for someone who wanted to kill one of his relatives who allegedly tried to deprive him of property and money related to their estates.

According to prosecutors, Kuet met with an undercover detective and told them he wanted to kill his sister for pay.

Kita is expected to be sentenced within the next three months on the attempted murder charge he pleaded guilty to.
