A TikTok influencer "set a trap" that led to a man who was blackmailing her mother with a sex tape being rammed off the road and killed, a court has heard.

Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin died in a crash on the A46 near Leicester in February 2022.

Mahek Bukhari, her mother Ansreen and six others are charged with murder.

Prosecutors told Leicester Crown Court on Monday it was a case of "love, obsession, extortion and ultimately cold-blooded murder".

The court heard Mr Hussain, 21, from Oxfordshire, and 45-year-old Ansreen Bukhari, of George Eardley Close, Stoke-on-Trent, began an affair in 2019 but she ended it in January 2022.
