Influencer Mahek, her mother Ansreen and two others face sentencing for murder today at Leicester Crown Court
, with those convicted of murder facing life behind bars, with Judge Timothy Spencer KC setting the length of each sentence.
During the trial, jurors heard that victims Hashim Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain, both 21, had travelled from Banbury in Oxfordshire to Leicester to meet Mahek and Ansreen and receive £2,000 in blackmail cash. Saqib had been threatening to post nude images and sexual videos of Ansreen - who he'd been having a three-year affair with - online.
Instead, Mahek and her mother organised an ambush that led to Mahek and her co-defendants chasing the two men up the A46. Defendant Raees Jamal, behind the wheel of a Seat Leon, rammed into the men's car, sending them crashing into the central reservation. Four of the accused were found guilty of murder - Ansreen and Mahek , both of George Eardley Close, Stoke, Raees Jamal of Lingdale Close, Loughborough, and Rekan Karwan of Tomlin Road, Leicester.
Three others were found guilty of manslaughter but not guilty of murder - Natasha Akhtar of Alum Rock Road, Birmingham, Sanaf Gulammustafa of Littlemore Close, Crown Hills, Leicester, and Ameer Jamal of Catherine Street, Belgrave, Leicester. An eighth defendant was cleared of all charges.
