Sara Sharif’s father and stepmother face sentencing for her murder after years of abuse that led to her tragic death
Woking: It’s a heartbreaking case. Sara Sharif, just 10 years old, suffered unimaginable abuse at the hands of her father, Urfan Sharif, and stepmother, Beinash Batool. They’re set to be sentenced soon, and it’s been a long road to get here.
Last week, they were found guilty of her murder after a trial that revealed the horrific details of her life. The jury took nearly ten hours to deliberate, which shows how serious the evidence was.
Sara died at home on August 8, 2023, with over 70 injuries, including broken bones and burns. It’s just gut-wrenching to think about what she went through. Her father even called the police from Pakistan, admitting he had beaten her “too much.”
He and his wife fled to Pakistan after her death, but they were brought back to face justice. The sentencing is expected to be broadcast, so many will be watching closely to see what happens next.
It’s a tragic reminder of the importance of protecting children and ensuring they’re safe from harm. No child should ever have to endure what Sara did.
