A woman has been accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill her family for a $2 million inheritance.
Tureyuga Inaru, 29, from Orlando, has been behind bars since December after she was jailed for threatening to kill her co-workers at Disney.
She has now been accused of plotting against her parents and grandparents and recruiting her cellmates for her homicidal plot, law enforcement has claimed.

Osceola County Sheriff Marco Lopez told news station WESH that Inaru told two fellow inmates that her parents were wealthy and would receive an inheritance worth $2 million upon their deaths, according to an affidavit.
Inaru said she would give her cellmates $50,000 for each family member, according to the station ClickOrlando.
Court filings state that she allegedly used social media to cyberstalk Assistant State Attorney Peter Francis Donnelly - who was prosecuting her case - because she wanted him to ‘suffer’. She also told her fellow inmates that she had been planning to kill Donnelly.

If Inaru was unable to find someone to kill her family, she was allegedly happy to ‘do it herself’.
But in a move that may surprise a lot of people, instead of taking up Inaru’s gruesome offer for cash, her cellmates told a corrections officer about her murderous plot.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post that they became aware of the plot in December last year.

Investigators were told how Inaru gave them instructions on how to make the murders look like a botched robbery.
The sheriff’s office sent an undercover detective posing as an inmate into the woman’s cell in January.
Although the prisoner allegedly talked to the cop about her aversion towards the prosecutor in her 2020 case regarding her threats towards her Disney co-workers, she denied trying to hire a hitman.

However in a follow-up interview with investigators, Inaru allegedly admitted to forging a plan to have her family killed to get the multi-million dollar inheritance.
On Monday (27 March), Inary was charged with three counts of solicitation to premeditated murder and one count of cyberstalking for allegedly sending death threats to the prosecutor.
Donnelly said that after being stalked on social media and email he was ‘forced to change his habits and lifestyle,’ according to WFTV.
Inaru claimed her family members sexually abused her and her siblings however this claim was denied by one of her relatives, who told investigators they believe she ‘needs mental health help’.

She will remain in jail without bond and will be back in court in May.
