Prosecutor Mohammed Zarandouz said that during the high-speed chase in the early hours of February 11 one of the victims called 999 to alert police.
He said: “Unfortunately a loud scream could be heard from the caller and the call disconnected.”
While vehicular-related deaths would more commonly result in manslaughter charges, the allegations that Bukhari and the others charged chased and rammed the victims’ vehicle has resulted in murder charges.
Another 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder but has since been released from police custody with no further action to be taken.
