Three women charged with murder following fatal crash in Leicester
Two men died in the crash on the A46
Three people have been charged with murder following a fatal collision on the A46 in the early hours of Friday 11th February 2022.
Police were called to a road traffic collision at around 1.30am, just before 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.
Three women have now been charged with murder.
Natasha Akhtar, 21, of Alum Rock Road, Birmingham; Ansreen Bukhari, 45, and Mahek Bukhari, 22, both of George Eardley Close, Stoke, will be appearing at Leicester Magistrates’ Court later.
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.
Two more arrests have been made today. Two men, aged 21 and 27, from Leicester, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are in police custody.
