Sara Sharif's dad issued chilling warning after his neck is slashed with jagged tuna tin

Sara Sharif's killer father has been violently ambushed behind bars, but the chilling attack has come as no surprise to experts. Urfan Sharif, 43, was targeted by two inmates inside HMP Belmarsh on New Year's Day, just weeks into his life sentence for the murder of his 10-year-old daughter. The child killer had his throat sliced with the jagged lid of a tuna can and was left with non-life-threatening injuries.
Last month, Sharif was jailed for a minimum of 40 years, alongside Sara's stepmum, Beinash Batool, 30, and her uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, for subjecting the schoolgirl to two years of torture. Sara, who had a 'beautiful smile and loud laugh', died with 25 fractures and 71 external injuries, including bite marks and iron burns.
After being convicted of murder, monster Sharif is serving his punishment behind bars - and his fellow inmates are making sure he suffers. His treatment in the short few weeks he has been jailed is just a reflection of his bleak future, according to retired prison governor Vanessa Frake, who spent nearly three decades working inside jail.
"High-profile prisoners like Sharif will always be vulnerable to attacks," she told The Mirror. "In prison, there is a hierarchical system between inmates and those that murder, rape or molest children are seen as the lowest of the low. The dreadful abuse and murder of Sara Sharif, reported by the media, has highlighted Urfan Sharif, Beinash Batool and Faisal Malik to other prisoners. There will be no hiding from their crimes behind bars.".
