British TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari, 25, and her married mother, Ansreen Bukhari, 46, orchestrated the killing of Ansreen’s younger boyfriend in 2022 and were convicted to life in prison. Now, years later, they are still trying to have their sentences revised.
Mahek made a career for herself posting lifestyle and fashion content. Over the few years she had been active on the app, she grew into a micro-celebrity, earning significant money through advertising, endorsements, and collaborations. According to the BBC, the judge in their case said that Mahek’s fame had made her “entirely self-obsessed,” and before long, Ansreen too became drawn to the glamour of celebrity.
