Mahek Bukhari, 23, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 45, hatched a horror plot to “silence” Saqib Hussain by luring him with cash.

The 21-year-old died in a 100km/h fireball crash along with his friend Hashim Ijazuddin after their Skoda went off the road during a high-speed chase in Leicestershire.
Mahek and her mother Ansreen were found guilty of manslaughter at Leicester Crown Court on August 4 after 28 hours of jury deliberations.
And Mahek Bukhari, Ansreen Bukhari, Rekan Karwan and Raees Jamal were all sentenced to life imprisonment today.
Mahek was sentenced to at least 31 years and 8 months, while Jamal was sentenced to 36 years in prison.
Ansreen Bukhari was sentenced to at least 26 years and nine months in prison.
Raees Jamal, 23, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum sentence of 36 years and 45 days, with 30 days suspended.
It comes after jurors were told the accident was “no ordinary” accident but “a story of love, obsession, extortion and, ultimately, cold-blooded murder”.
Judge Tim Spencer KC told Mahek she was “immature beyond her years” after the young woman played Monopoly while waiting for the jury to reach a verdict.
He said: “Your fame through your career as an influencer has made you completely self-absorbed with a completely unjustified sense of entitlement and no apparent awareness of the impact you have on others, oblivious to the harm you are causing.
“That your solution to your mother’s problems was to hire some of your male followers to beat up Saqib Hussain speaks volumes for your warped values and perhaps the false word of influence you so enthusiastically espouse.
“The moments leading up to death would have been harrowing and terrifying for Saqib and Hashim.”
Saqib had been in a relationship with the married Ansreen for about three years and “seemed to be in love” with her.
He was rumored to have pumped £3,000 into her on dates, until things were said to have soured.
By January 2022, Ansreen was trying to end the relationship, but the “increasingly obsessive” Saqib would not accept that it was over.
As a result, he “attempted to blackmail Ansreen” by threatening to send their sex tapes to her husband, the court heard.
And the jury was told how the mother made a “late” decision to put things in her daughter’s hands.
On January 4, Mahek sent a text to her mom that read: “He’ll be jumped by boys and won’t know what day it is.”
The TikTok influencer also sent him a message: “Sorry you won’t be here this year, Saqib.”
Then she and her mom planned to “shut up” Saqib by luring him and offering to pay him back for the dates.
On February 10, he was driven by “totally innocent” friend Hashim to collect cash from Leicester.
But in the minutes leading up to the crash, Saqib made a harrowing 999 call.
He said: “Two vehicles are following me and trying to block me. I can’t get to the police station – I need help now.
“I’m being followed by guys. They’re wearing balaclavas.
“They’re trying to run me off the road. They’re trying to kill me – I’m going to die.”
After giving his name to the operator, Saqib then pleads, “They hit the back of the car very quickly.
– Please, I’m begging you, I’m going to die.
He can then be heard screaming before the clip cuts out.
Moments later, the Škoda Fabia in which the friends were traveling hit a tree on the central reservation and “split in two”.
Police recently released footage showing brazen Bukhari spinning a web of lies to officers after the horror.
Ansreen Bukhari and Mahek Bukhari denied two counts of murder and two alternative counts of murder.
Last month, Rekhan Karwan and Raees were sentenced to 26 years and 10 months in prison, with 362 days of custody forfeited.
FNatasha Akhtar, 23, was sentenced to 11 years and eight months in prison, Ameer Jamal, 28, to 14 years and eight months in prison and Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, was sentenced to 14 years and nine months in prison for manslaughter.
Mohammed Patel was found not guilty of murder or manslaughter.
