TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari and her mother Ansreen Bukhari have been jailed for life at Leicester Crown Court.

They will serve a minimum term of 31 years and eight months and 26 years and nine months respectively for the murders of Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin in February 2022.

Saqib Hussain and his friend, Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, were both killed when their Skoda careered off the A46 dual carriageway near Leicester, smashing into a tree and bursting into flames in February last year.

In a harrowing 999 call made only moments before the crash, Mr Hussain told police that balaclava-wearing assailants travelling in two cars were trying to ram him off the road.

Police later discovered that TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari, 24, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 46, had plotted the ambush when Mr Hussain threatened to expose his long-running affair with the older woman.
