TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari and her mother have both been jailed for life for double murder following a sex tape threat.

Bukhari sobbed in the dock last month as she was found guilty of murdering her mother’s lover and his friend in a high-speed car chase.

Her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 46, was also found guilty of the murders following a trial at Leicester Crown Court.

Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, both 21, died when their Skoda “virtually split in two” and caught fire after leaving the A46 dual carriageway near Leicester before hitting a tree in the early hours of 11 February 2022.

Mr Hussain had threatened to reveal the affair he and Ansreen Bukhari had been having.

Bukhari, 24, and her mother, from Stoke-on-Trent, denied two counts of murder but were convicted by jurors after more than 28 hours of deliberations.

On Friday, Mahek Bukhari was sentenced to life with a minimum of 31 years and eight months in prison, while Ansreen Bukhari also received a life sentence, and was jailed for a minimum of 26 years and nine months.

Rekan Karwan, 29, who brought in Raees Jamal, 23, to help carry out the murders after Bukhari approached him, were also jailed for life with a minimum of 26 years and 10 months and 31 years respectively for two counts of murder.

Three others, who were found not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter, were also sentenced.

Natasha Akhtar, 23, was jailed for 11 years and eight months, while Ameer Jamal, 28, and Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, were jailed for 14 years and eight months and 14 years and nine months respectively for two counts of manslaughter.

All were present in the two vehicles, an Audi TT and a Seat Leon, used in the fatal car chase.

Donald Trump pleads not guilty in Georgia election case

Former US president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday (Aug 31) to charges that he led a criminal conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election loss in the southern state of Georgia.

The Republican presidential frontrunner, who faces 13 felony counts including racketeering, entered his plea in a court filing waiving his right to appear at an arraignment next Wednesday.

Trump, 77, surrendered to the Fulton County jail in the state capital Atlanta last week and was the first former US president pictured in a police mug shot.

Released on a US$200,000 bond and given the inmate number “PO1135809,” Trump was accused of colluding with 18 other defendants in a multi-pronged attempt to overturn his defeat in Georgia.

The billionaire – who lost the state by fewer than 12,000 votes – has been indicted four times since April, setting the stage for a year of unprecedented drama as he juggles numerous court appearances and another White House campaign.

Trump is asking for his case to be severed from co-defendants who have sought a speedy trial, including Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump campaign lawyer due to go before a jury in October.

Fulton County prosecutors want an October start for every defendant.

Trump’s arrest came a day after he spurned a televised debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin featuring eight of his rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination – all of whom lag well behind him in the polls.

During the debate all but two of the candidates said they would support him as the party’s nominee even if he were a convicted felon.

Trump is the first US president in history to face criminal charges.

His various trials, if they take place next year, are set to coincide with the Republican presidential primary season, which begins in January, and the campaign for the November 2024 White House election.

Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter accused of sexually assaulting woman when she was 15 on yacht in 2003: lawsuit

Nick Carter, facing multiple allegations of sexual assault, called the allegations ‘false’ through a representative and said they were previously ‘investigated’ by police

Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys is facing another sexual assault lawsuit and is accused of raping a 15-year-old girl on a yacht in 2003.

An anonymous accuser, referred to as A.R., claimed Carter provided alcohol and took her virginity in a complaint filed Monday in Nevada and obtained by Fox News Digital.

The accuser also claims Carter sexually abused her other times, including once on his tour bus and again during another yacht encounter. One of these alleged assaults resulted in the alleged victim contracting a sexually transmitted disease, the suit says.

A representative for Carter, 43, called the allegations “false” in a statement shared with Fox News Digital and noted her claims had previously been “thoroughly investigated” by police.

“Subsequently, in a separate incident, A.R. was threatened with criminal charges for filing a false police report,” the statement said. “And now she’s at it yet again. But repeating the same false allegations in a new legal complaint doesn’t make them any more true.

“Nick is looking forward to the evidence being presented and the truth about these malicious schemes coming to light.”

The accuser is asking for damages in excess of $15,000 for “past and future medical expenses, and for past and future pain and suffering.” The alleged victim also requested a jury trial.

“Plaintiff suffered severe emotional trauma and distress, that was caused by Carter’s sexual battery to her body,” the suit states.

In February, Carter filed a countersuit against two accusers who came forward with allegations from over 20 years ago, claiming they are attempting to capitalize on the #MeToo movement. The pop star requested $2.3 million in damages.

A judge ruled Wednesday that Carter’s counterclaim against Melissa Schuman could move forward after the victim’s legal team argued her allegations were protected by the First Amendment and could not be considered defamatory, according to KLAS 8 News Now.

However, Judge Nancy Allf ruled that Carter’s team had provided enough evidence for the case to move forward.

Per KTNV, in March, Judge Alff said Carter could also continue pursuing his counterclaim against Shannon “Shay” Ruth.
