A TikTok influencer and her mother have been jailed for life for ambushing and murdering two men in a high-speed car chase. Mahek Bukhari, 24, must serve at least 31 years in prison, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 46, has been jailed for at least 26 years for killing Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin.

Mr Hussain and Mr Ijazuddin died when their car left the A46 dual carriageway near Leicester on February 11 2022. The court was told they were deliberately rammed off the road and the car “split in two” and caught fire after hitting a tree.

Mahek and Ansreen, both of George Eardley Close, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, were both found guilty of two counts of murder at a trial at Leicester Crown Court last month.

Fellow defendants Rekhan Karwan, 29, and Raees Jamal, 23, were also jailed for life with a minimum of 26 years and 10 months and 31 years respectively for two counts of murder – while Natasha Akhtar, 23, was jailed for 11 years and eight months, and Ameer Jamal, 28, and Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, were jailed for 14 years and eight months and 14 years and nine months respectively for two counts of manslaughter.
