Mahek Bukhari (Leicestershire Police/PA) - (PA Media)

A TikTok influencer who murdered her mother’s lover and his friend in a high-speed car chase should have her sentence reduced as it is “wholly disproportionate”, the Court of Appeal has been told.

Mahek Bukhari was jailed for a minimum of 31 years in September 2023 for her involvement in the murders of Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin in February 2022, with her mother, Ansreen, also convicted and imprisoned for at least 26 years.
