A TikTok influencer and her mother are among three women charged with murder after two men were killed in a crash on a dual carriageway in Leicestershire. 

Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, known as Hashim, and Saqib Hussain had been travelling on the A46 at around 1:30am on Friday in a silver Skoda Fabia when it left the carriageway and smashed through a central reservation.  

Two other cars, a grey Audi TT and a blue Seat Leon, were spotted near the scene at the time with all three vehicles travelling at speed before the collision. 

The two men were pronounced dead at the scene, Leicestershire Police said, with one car believed to have burst into flames. 

TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari, 22, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 45, from Stoke-on-Trent, have been charged with murder over the crash, alongside Natasha Akhtar, 21, from Birmingham. 

The mother and daughter appeared in the dock at Leicester Magistrates Court this morning, though Akhtar opted to stay in the cells.  

The younger Bukhari has more than 120,000 followers on TikTok and another 43,000 on Instagram, where she poses in a variety of outfits and films make-up tutorials. 

Many of her posts show her modelling outfits in adverts for popular brands.
