TikTok: Murder Gone Viral · Series 1 · The Mother and Daughter Killers

With exclusive access to the victims' families, friends and the police, this documentary strand explores extraordinary true crime cases linked to the world's fastest-growing social media platform. In the early hours of the 11th of February 2022, two 21-year-old men - Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin - were found dead in a burning car on the A46 in Leicestershire. Within a short time, police arrested two unlikely culprits: 22-year-old TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari and her 45-year-old mother Ansreen. Mahek from Stoke-on-Trent has over 160,000 followers on TikTok and many millions of views - her mum Ansreen regularly appeared in her videos. Detectives discovered that Ansreen had been in a three-year-long secret relationship with Saqib Hussain which began when he was just 18 - when she wanted to end the relationship in January 2022 and Saqib threatened to send nude photos and sex tapes to her husband, Mahek hatched a plan to silence him and enlisted others into her scheme.

TikTok: Murder Gone Viral · Series 1 · The Killing of Sania Khan

With exclusive access to the victims' families, friends and the police, this documentary strand explores extraordinary true crime cases linked to the world's fastest-growing social media platform. Raheel Ahmad looked the perfect match for TikTok photographer Sania Khan on paper - he came from a good family and wanted to be a doctor, but Raheel couldn't pass his medical exams once the couple had gotten married and then tried to hurl himself and her from the window of their 28th-storey Chicago apartment just months after their huge wedding. Hospitalised with mental problems, Raheel admitted that he had lied about his age and had been unfaithful - Sania then went public on TikTok with her agonies over whether to stick by her man or request a divorce. Her honesty and growing self-reliance resonated with abused women around the world and sent shockwaves through the South Asian community in America - the couple separated, but Raheel started to plot his revenge as Sania's posts went viral.

TikTok influencer Alexis Sharkey seemed to have the perfect life - she regularly posted videos to her 80,000 followers, but all this came to a sudden end when she disappeared in November 2020. Her parents and friends became increasingly worried and reported her missing - on the 28th of November, 2020, a rubbish truck driver spotted a naked body dumped in the gutter of a side road in Houston. The police confirmed that it was Alexis and revealed that the 26-year-old had been strangled to death - detectives then began a murder investigation and news of the popular influencer's death went viral on TikTok. Just two weeks after Alexis was found dead, her husband Tom also disappeared - however, two of the influencer's closest friends revealed that Alexis had said that she was being abused by him.
