Ex-TikTok influencer and her mother jailed for life over murders of two men

  • TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari and her mother have been sentenced to life in prison for the double murder of Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin. Bukhari and her mother were found guilty of the murders, which were carried out as a response to a sex tape threat made by Mr. Hussain.
  • The victims, Mr. Hussain and Mr. Ijazuddin, died in a high-speed car chase after being deliberately rammed off the road. Bukhari and her mother planned the attack, recruiting others to help carry it out. The murders were motivated by the threat of exposing an affair between Mr. Hussain and Ansreen Bukhari.
  • Judge Timothy Spencer KC described TikTok and Instagram as central to the case, highlighting Bukhari's pursuit of a career as a social media influencer. The judge emphasized the self-obsession and warped values displayed by Bukhari, concluding that the murders were driven by love, obsession, and extortion.
