Mahek Bukhari, 24, wiped away tears as she and mum Ansreen Bukhari, 46, were sentenced.
The jurors deliberated for more than 28 hours before finding YouTube and TikTok content creator Mahek Bukhari and her mother guilty of two counts of murder.
‘It was the reason you, Ansreen Bukhari, became your daughter’s chaperone. It was the reason your head was turned towards the perceived glamour of promotions, shisha bar openings and the like – a world far removed from the life you lived until then as a mother and housewife.‘You fell for the advances of Saqib Hussain and you began your affair. It was an affair you came to regret and decided to end.‘Saqib Hussain was blackmailing you.
‘By January 2022, you, Ansreen Bukhari, put matters into the hands of your daughter – what a calamitous decision. ‘Mahek Bukhari, that your solution to your mothers problems was to engage some of your male followers to beat up Saqib Hussain – ‘jump him’ as you put it – speaks volumes of your warped values and maybe also of the false world of influencing that you so enthusiastically espoused.’
‘So whilst remorse is expressed by some it is little and late and has a hollow ring. The jury saw through your lies.’ Mr Ijazuddin’s father Sikander Hayat told the packed courtroom his family have been living a ‘never-ending nightmare that has shattered our lives’.
