Appeals Crushed in Leicestershire Chase Case | Leicester News

Three passengers in a car chase that ended in the deaths of two young men, Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, have lost their appeal against manslaughter convictions. The victims, both 21, were killed in a high-speed collision on the A46 after a confrontation sparked by a threat from Hussain involving a secret affair. Prosecutors claimed the car carrying the victims was deliberately rammed. The defendants—Ameer Jamal, Sanaf Gulammustafa, and Natasha Akhtar—admitted being present but denied intent to harm. Their defense argued the trial judge failed to clearly define the unlawful act for the jury, but the Court of Appeal ruled the jury understood the plan to inflict serious harm. Appeals dismissed.
