A notorious American killer who stuffed her mother’s body into a suitcase at a five-star Bali resort flashed a broad smile as she strutted down a makeshift catwalk in rare footage inside Kerobokan jail.
Heather Mack, 23, modelled pink knitted gloves and a beanie on the runway inside the notorious prison in front of fellow inmates to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The American was later seen performing a dance routine with other prisoners, who wore matching camo-print outfits.
The jail’s governor said the event was to celebrate the prison’s female inmates while focusing on rehabilitation.

‘Actually they have very amazing talent. They can do anything we teach them. For example this dance was prepared for less than three days. They can do it amazingly,’ she told 7 News.

‘We hope our programs inside the prison will give them confidence when they return back to the community.’
Mack is serving a 10-year sentence for murdering her millionaire mother Sheila von Wiese-Mack with her then-boyfriend Tommy Schaefer in 2014 in a twisted plot to take her inheritance.
The couple claimed Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, became violent after Mack revealed she was pregnant and Schaefer lashed out to defend himself.
She stuffed her mother’s corpse into a suitcase at a five-star resort before dumping it in a taxi.
They then dumped the Chicago socialite’s body in a suitcase, hailed a taxi and fled.

They were caught when the taxi driver noticed blood seeping out of the suitcase which contained Ms von Wiese-Mack body.
Mack got 10 years for helping her boyfriend and Schaefer is serving 18 for the killing.
Mack was pregnant with her daughter Stella at the time of the murder.
Stella spent her first two years being raised inside Kerobokan Prison by Mack.
The four-year-old is now being cared for by a local Balinese Australian woman, Oshar Suartama, who befriended Mack during the murder trial in 2014.
Speaking with DailyMailTV in June, Mack said she shares a cramped cell with 21 other women.

‘It sounds horrendous and it is cramped. But everyone looks after each other, no one goes hungry,’ she said.
‘They all helped me raise Stella until she was two-years-old and I wasn’t allowed to look after her in the jail any more.’
Mack said she never wants to return home to Chicago with daughter and claimed she could be a free woman in just 18 months time.
‘I might get deported (back to America) on release but if that happens I hope it will only be for a maximum of six months. I’ll return as quickly as I can,’ she said.
