ITV true-crime documentary TikTok: Murder Gone Viral - The Mother and Daughter Killings - explores the murder plot by influencer Mahek Bukhari and her mother Ansreen
ITV true-crime documentary TikTok: Murder Gone Viral - The Mother and Daughter Killings - follows mum Ansreen Bukhari, who confided in her daughter Mahek about her sinister affair with Saqib Hussain
A TikTok creator and convicted killer who was imprisoned in 2023 for “setting a trap” to murder her mother’s 21-year-old lover boasted of her social media fame during a police interview, newly-released footage shows. Mahek Bukhari, 24, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, were found guilty of murdering Saqib Hussain and his friend Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin in a high-speed car chase over a plot to blackmail Ansreen. While in police custody in February 2022, Mahek told officers: “I am out there on social media, I am a social media influencer.” The clip will be played in a three-part ITV documentary, TikTok: Murder Gone Viral, which begins on Tuesday (30 January).
Two of these killers had a<strong> </strong>perverse mother-daughter dynamic that would make Freud faint. So why is this show so determined to unconvincingly pin the blame on TikTok?
The moment Mr Hussain made a 999 call to while being chased was recreated in ITV documentary TikTok: Murder Gone Viral - The Mother & Daughter Killers, tonight.
