Lawyer Anisah Ahmed tried to destroy the life of barrister Iqbal Mohammed after the pair began an affair that lasted nine months before things took a sinister turn.

Ahmed's revenge plot to destroy Iqbal is set to play out in the ITV documentary The Real Fatal Attraction tonight, drawing parallels between Ahmed's crimes and Glenn Close's character in the 1987 thriller. It all started when Iqbal received a connection request on LinkedIn from Ahmed, whose profile said she was a young lawyer from Oxford.
