Tributes from grieving families reveal that the Banbury men who died in a crash in Leicestershire were cousins.
Hashim Ijazuddin, 21, and Saqib Hussain, 20, had been travelling on the A46 at around 1:30am on Friday in a silver Skoda Fabia when the collision happened.
The two men were pronounced dead at the scene with one car believed to have burst into flames.
Three women and two men have been charged with murder including a TikTok star and her mother.
TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari, 22, and her mother Ansreen Bukhari, 45, from Stoke-on-Trent, have been charged with murder over the crash, alongside Natasha Akhtar, 21, from Birmingham. Raees Jamal, 21, and Rekan Karwan, 28, from Leicester, were also charged on Tuesday afternoon.
Hashim's grieving father Sikander Hayat, 49, has told MailOnline newspaper that the men were cousins and Hashim took Saqib to Leicester to see a friend because he was 'feeling low'.
Mr Hayat said: "Hashim was my favourite son, he was a beautiful soul and I feel blessed by Allah to have had 21 years with him.

"He borrowed the Skoda from his grandfather because his cousin Saqib asked him for a lift to Leicestershire to see a friend. Saqib was very down about things. Hashim loved him a lot and cared for all people in general. He would do anything to help somebody out.
"This is the kind of person he was. He was just doing a good deed because he never wanted to say no to anybody in trouble. Saqib was going through a tough time and asked Hashim to take him to Leicestershire but my son had nothing to do with any of this."
Hashim previously worked in a local bakery but spent most of last year staying with his grandparents in Pakistan.
Hashim's older brother, Zain Mohammed told MailOnline newspaper: "I'm not ashamed to say that I loved him the most because he was just like me, only better looking and a nicer character. Everybody loved Hashim, he was incredibly popular and had friends all over the country.

"He lit up the room when he walked in and was always laughing a joking. For me he was a superstar.
"Of course we are in a lot of pain because we have lost a beloved soul and we will all miss him terribly. There are no words for our sorrow but at the same time, I want to celebrate his life and remember him for the great person he was.
"He was gifted to me by Allah and I know that he has gone straight to heaven."
