Three women charged with murder following A46 incident
Three women will face murder charges in court today (Tuesday) following Friday’s incident on the A46 near Melton.
Police were called to a road traffic collision at around 1.30am, close to the Six Hills junction.
The incident involved a silver Skoda Fabia which had left the carriageway.
Two men who were inside the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
Following initial enquiries into the collision, two other cars were reported to have been travelling in the area at the same time of the collision – a grey Audi TT and a blue Seat Leon.
Natasha Akhtar (21), of Alum Rock Road, Birmingham; Ansreen Bukhari (45), and 22-year-old Mahek Bukhari, both of George Eardley Close, Stoke, will be appear at Leicester Magistrates’ Court today.
Raees Jamal (21), of Lingdale Close, Loughborough, and 28-year-old Rekan Karwan, of Tomlin Road, Leicester, have also been charged with murder in connection with the incident.
They have been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Leicester Magistrates Court tomorrow.
A 20-year-old man, arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder, has since been released from police custody with no further action to be taken.
