The jury has just made its decision

[Legal]

Just having a look at the sentencing guidelines for murder. Below are the (non-exhaustive) criteria for 30 years starting point. The only relevant criteria I think is that there were 2 victims. Below I have copied aggravating and mitigating factors that could be applied.

Homicide: Murder, manslaughter, infanticide and causing or allowing the death or serious injury of a child or vulnerable adult | The Crown Prosecution Service

www.cps.gov.uk

Where the offence is not so serious as to warrant a whole life order but the seriousness of the offence is particularly high, the appropriate starting point is 30 years’. Such cases include (but are not limited to and are detailed in para 3 schedule 21 SA 2020 as follows:

• The murder of a police or prison officer in the course of their duty for offences committed before 13 April 2015;
• A murder involving the use of a firearm or explosive;
• A murder carried out for gain (in the course of a robbery or burglary, or done for payment);
• A murder intended to obstruct or interfere with the course of justice;
• A murder involving sexual or sadistic conduct;
• The murder of two or more persons;
• A murder that is racially or religiously aggravated or aggravated by sexual orientation; or
• A murder that is aggravated by hostility related to disability or transgender identity for offences committed on or after 3 December 2012.

Where the offence does not warrant a whole life order or a 30 year starting point and the offender is aged over 18, for all offences committed on or after 2 March 2020 the normal starting point is 25 years.

It is only after having chosen a starting point that the court then goes on to consider aggravating or mitigating factors to the extent not allowed for them in the choice of starting point (para 7) Aggravating and Mitigating factors.

Aggravating factors​

Aggravating factors that may be relevant include (see para 9):

• A significant degree of planning or premeditation;
• The victim was vulnerable because of age or disability;
• Mental or physical suffering inflicted on the victim before death;
• The abuse of a position of trust;
• The use of duress or threats against another person to facilitate the commission of the offence;
• The victim was providing a public service or performing a public duty; and
• Concealment, destruction or dismemberment of the body.

Mitigating factors​

Mitigating factors include (see para 10):

• An intention to cause serious bodily harm rather than kill;
• Lack of premeditation;
• The offender suffers from a mental disorder or disability (not falling within section 2(1) of the Homicide Act 1957), which lowered their degree of culpability;
• The offender was provoked in a way not amounting to a defence of provocation;
• The offender acted to any extent in self-defence;
• A belief by the offender that the murder was an act of mercy;
• The age of the offender.

I'm thinking mother and daughter may get late 20s/ 30 due to the fact they were responsible for the planning and premeditation aspects. Especially Mahek with her comments about "watch what we do to you", plus gathering a gang, donning face masks and collecting weapons.

The drivers were physically responsible for the speeding and hitting the other car, and premeditation only needs to be seconds so possibly the same for them? No remorse from any of them.

Of course I could be totally wrong!

The manslaughter guidelines depend on which type of manslaughter they were convicted of (gross negligence, unlawful act etc). Do we know which it was?

Reading the CPS document, I believe it’s “Unlawful Act Manslaughter” which looks to have a starting point of 18 years.

I'm shaking my head so damn hard at the defendats who were convicted of manslaughter. Especially Natasha!
Mo Patel's acquittal just proves that if they had been honest, or at least something resembling it they would have been fine. Instead she made up a load of nonsense to protect someone she thought loved her, even though that obviously wasn't the case. Now she's been convicted of a very serious crime and her life is ruined.

 

[Legal]

So the affair they went to such great lengths to cover up is now plastered all over the front page of the daily mail alongside the very unflattering mugshots. At least they'll have been years to reflect on their life choices!

I totally agree. And Natasha was studying law so could have had a promising career but no chance of that now. I'm sure they were all inadvertently dragged into but the cover up is what has led to their convictions IMO, like you say Bobby.

Well Ansreen might be spending the rest of her life in prison but at least the sex tape(s) didn't get leaked to the internet!

 

[Honeybirdette]

I think the jury got it the right on all counts. Shame we didn’t get a love blog commentary from judge etc.

Absolutely!!!! I am over the moon with their verdict. If I had been on the jury myself this is also what I would have voted.
I am so so pleased

 

[Pinkestpanther]

Omg finally! Well done to the jury...the right result. I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Natasha, she didn't help herself much though. So glad the complete pack of lies Mahek told was seen through.

Guilty of Murder: Mahek Bukhari, Ansreen Bukhari, Raees Jamal & Rekan Karwan
Guilty of manslaughter: Natasha Akhtar, Sanaf Gulammustafa, Ameer Jamal

Not Guilty of all: Mohammed Patel

Woohoo!! I missed all this happening in real-time.

I'm going to enjoy a thread catch up. Sweet justice! Well done jury.

too busy keeping track of who's still in the Letby deliberations game no doubt! While you're at it are you able to change the header from "verdict watch" to "guilty" ?

Who would have thought that the Bukhari verdict would come back first when they went away for that two week break?

In the time Lucy Letby has been on trial, Mahek Bukhari and her co-defendants have been on trial TWICE!

 

[bobbymkii]

Mahek looks like she's enjoying herself in the police station video!

It's crazy. The officers aren't even asking her questions she's just going off on this crazy long soliloquy, every word of it a laughably provable big fat lie!

Moment killer TikToker, 24, lied to police that she'd hatched plot to murder her 45-year-old mother's lover, 21, after he threatened to expose the affair by leaking a sex tape​

[…]

Footage shows Mahek just hours after the crash, sat on the edge of a sofa in a pink onesie as she told officers: 'So at first we stayed here then we went straight to Nottingham.'

Her lies continued in police interview, where she spoke animatedly while giving a rambling account of witnessing a traffic accident in which she squared the blame at two other vehicles.

Insisting she was 'a very good driver', she alleged a blue Seat Leon came into view from the right-hand side before a silver car cut in front of her.

She said: 'This car was agitating the blue car. It was just harassing and this silver car was not letting the blue car go.

'I went past and got further away and then the blue car caught up with me. All I heard was a bang when the silver car hit the blue car.

'I said to my mum, "What's going on? Are they drunk? What are they trying to do to this blue car?'''
