A court has heard that a TikTok star told a crash victim "watch what I do to you" during an alleged high-speed chase up the A46. Mahek Bukhari, 23, is one of eight people on trial at Leicester Crown Court accused of the murder of Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain.
The 21 year olds, both from Oxfordshire, died following a crash on the A46 near Leicester, close to the Nottinghamshire border, on February 11. On day two of the murder trial concerning their deaths at Leicester Crown Court on Friday (October 28), jurors heard that the alleged threat from TikTok personality Mahek Bukhari came just before the collision in which the car, carrying Mr Ijazuddin and Mr Hussain, smashed through the central reservation, hit a tree and burst into flames, LeicestershireLive reports.
The court also heard that Mohammed Patel, the seventh person to be arrested, had provided a lengthy statement to Leicestershire Police after his arrest in which he described how Mahek called Saqib Hussain - who died in the car crash - and made the comment. There followed, he said, a conversation between two other defendants in which one of the drivers said "I'm going to try to stop this guy."
