Promised $9 mn online, US teen killed 'best friend': police

An American teenager has been charged with conspiring to murder her "best friend" after a man she met online offered her USD 9 million to commit the crime.

According to investigators, Denali Brehmer, an 18-year-old from Alaska, was recruited to kill her friend by a man a few years her elder, 21-year-old Darin Schilmiller of Indiana.

The pair had previously hooked up online, with Schilmiller assuming a fake identity and posing as a millionaire named "Tyler."
