Former TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari gave a chilling account of the night that saw her mother’s young lover murdered alongside his friend.
The 23-year-old shamelessly lied to police officers and blatantly changed her story in a bid to evade justice, however she was caught out and later sentenced to life behind bars for the murders of Hashim Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain. The young men died in a horrific 100mph car crash on the A46 in Leicester on February 11, 2022, after being chased.
Their deaths followed a murder plot by Bukhari to avenge her mother Ansreen, 47, who was having a secret relationship with Saqib, which he was threatening to expose. As featured in a new ITV documentary – TikTok: Murder Gone Viral – the 21-year-old pals travelled from Banbury in Oxfordshire to Leicester to meet the mother and daughter, where they thought they were set to receive £3,000 in blackmail cash after Saqib had been threatening to post nude images and sexual videos of Ansreen.
Instead, the duo hatched a plan to ambush them, with Mahek and her two friends chasing the two men up the A46. Defendant Raees Jamal, 22, behind the wheel of a Seat Leon, rammed into the men’s Skoda Fabia, sending them flying into the central reservation. The vehicle ‘split in two’ before bursting into flames, killing the two men inside.
