SARA Sharif's stepmother replied "no comment" when asked by police whether she loved or cared about the 10-year-old, a newly released video has showed. Today, her father Urfan Sharif, 42, stepmother Beinash Batool, 30 were found guilty of murdering the girl.

Her uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, was convicted of causing or allowing her death. The trial at the Old Bailey heard that the child died after years of horrific abuse, including being burned, bitten and beaten. After the verdicts, police released videos showing all three defendants being interviewed on September 14 2023, the day after they were arrested at Gatwick Airport after flying back from Pakistan.

Sara was found dead in a bunk bed at the family home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10 2023, after Sharif called police from Pakistan and said he had beaten her up "too much". In a 68-second clip, Batool replies "No comment" to seven questions from officers, including "Do you love Sara?", "Did you care about her at all?", "What did you see?" and "What happened to Sara?".

At the start of the video Batool, wearing a black long-sleeved garment and smiling slightly, confirms her identity and responds "killing someone", when asked what her understanding was of murder. Another video shows Malik replying "no comment" when asked by police who was responsible for the girl's death and when an officer explains that she thinks he was either "actively involved" in torturing Sara or was "sat there going 'it's not my problem, I can't do anything'".
