A TikTok influencer allegedly murdered her mother’s young lover from Banbury by ramming him off the road after he threatened to expose their three year affair with a sex tape, a court has heard.

Mahek Bukhari, 23- known as Maya- is accused alongside her 46-year-old mother Ansreen Bukhari of killing 21 year old Saqib Hussain, who died with his friend Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin in a crash on the A46 near Leicester on February 11, 2022.

Mr Hussian “appeared to be in love” with Mrs Bukhari and her daughter, the TikTok influencer, was “aware of the relationship, and was happy to tolerate it, if not approve of it”, the Crown’s prosecutor Collingwood Thompson KC said.

Opening the court case, Mr Thompson said he was sure this was “no ordinary traffic accident”, as Mr Hussain made a 999 call to the police just moments before his death.

He claimed that his car was being “rammed off the road” by balaclava wearing assailants, who were following in two pursuing cars.

In a recording played to Leicester Crown Court on Monday, he said: “They’re trying to kill me, they’re trying to kill me.

“I’m just getting rammed off the road.”

He can then be heard saying: “Please, I am begging you.”

Mr Hussain was then heard to say “Oh my God” before the call was abruptly cut off at the sound of an impact.

Footage from the police attending the crash scene, at about 1.35am, showed the Skoda in flames and resting against a tree by the Six Hills junction near Leicester.

Mr Hussain’s friend, Mr Ijazuddin, was driving him to Leicester that night and the court heard how he had been in the “wrong place at the wrong time” and this turned out to be a “tragic and fatal mistake”, prosecutors said.

Jurors have been told a subsequent police investigation showed what Mr Thompson has described as a “story of love, obsession, extortion, and ultimately, the Crown allege- cold-blooded murder”.

The court has heard that the relationship originally started off as “a bit of fun” but for Mr Hussain, despite “quarrels”, this “changed” and he told his family “he was in love”.

Mr Thompson has told the court it was “clear” there was a “sexual relationship” and “a number of sexually explicit videos and pictures were found, involving both Saqib Hussain and Ansreen Bukhari”.

He said: “The existence of that material is at the very centre of this case because it was what the material could do that the Crown say led to… the murder of these two young men”.

Mrs Bukhari did want to end the relationship by January 2022 but the court has heard that he “could not accept that decision”.

Mr Thompson said Mr Hussain sent his former lover a large number of messages showing him “becoming increasingly obsessive about the relationship, professing his love for Ansreen and begging her to continue the relationship.”

“This alternated with messages showing anger and frustration she would not return his calls,” said Mr Thompson.

The court heard that Mr Hussain “took to attempting to blackmail Ansreen Bukhari, to persuade her to contact him”.

Mr Thompson said this “provides the motive for what happened.”

Mr Hussain threatened to send sexually explicit material to Mrs Bukhari’s husband, Mr Thompson said.

The prosecutor said that “what is implicit here, is her husband is going to be told about the affair, as is her son”.

At one point, Mr Hussain also tried to get Mahek Bukhari to get her mother to reply to him, and the influencer replied: “She ain’t a dog don’t f****** raise your voice and tell me what to do.”

Later, she allegedly told him: “I am sorry that this year you’ll be gone, Saqib.”

Others allegedly involved include Raees Jamal, 22, formerly of Lingdale Close, Loughborough, who was claimed to have “recruited others”, including Natasha Akhtar, 23, of Alum Rock Road, Birmingham.

Also in the dock are Sanaf Gulammustafa, 23, of Littlemore Close, and Ameer Jamal, 28, of Catherine Street, and Mohammed Patel, 21 of Braybrooke Road, all Leicester.

All eight defendants are accused of murdering both men and also face two alternative manslaughter counts but deny any wrongdoing.

The trial continues.
