TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari has been jailed for life over ‘cold-blooded’ murder!
British-Pakistani TikToker Mahek Bukhari and her mother were convicted of double murder.
Social media influencer Mahek Bukhari, 24, was sentenced to life in prison at Leicester Crown Court alongside her mother Ansreen, 46, who must serve a minimum of 26 years and nine months after they were found guilty of murdering two men in a high-speed car chase.
The TikTok star who has more than 120,000 followers has been sent to prison after the court found her guilty of “setting a trap” to murder her mother’s 21-year-old lover after he threatened to blackmail her over a sex tape.
Both were found guilty of murdering Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin.
Both men died in a high-speed car chase in February 2022.
As reported, Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, both 21, died in a horrific crash that left their flaming Skoda Fabia “split in two” after they were rammed off the A46 dual carriageway near Leicester on February 11 last year.
During the three-month trial at Leicester Crown Court, prosecutors successfully argued that Mr. Hussain and Mr. Ijazuddin were deliberately rammed off the road.
The court proceedings revealed that Mahek “ambushed” Mr. Hussain after he threatened to leak sexually explicit material exposing a long-running affair he had been having with her 46-year-old mother.
Finding the people responsible for the deaths of Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin was an extremely complex investigation.

The court proceedings revealed that Mr. Hussain and Mr. Ijazuddin, who had driven his friend to Leicester for the meeting as a “favour”, were instead ambushed and then chased before the fatal crash.
