SARA Sharif's evil dad and stepmum have been jailed for life after murdering the schoolgirl in a barbaric two-year torture campaign. The tragic ten-year-old was hooded, burned and bitten by Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool as they dished out sadistic "punishments".
Sara was found bludgeoned to death with at least 71 internal injuries at home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10 last year. Sharif, 42, his wife Batool, 30, and brother Faisal Malik, 29, were at the centre of a global manhunt after fleeing the UK after her death.
Once he landed in Pakistan, the evil dad called police to confess his daughter was dead after he beat her up “too much”. Sharif wept as he and Batool were today jailed for life with a minimum of 40 years and 33 years after being convicted of murder.
Sara's uncle Malik was also jailed for 16 years after being cleared of murder but found guilty of causing or allowing her death. Sentencing, Mr Justice Cavanagh said Sara's death was the "culmination of years of neglect, frequent assaults, and what can only be described as the torture of this small child".
He said the final thing she felt before she died was her "own father beating her for supposedly faking injury". Sara's mum Olga Domin today revealed her torment over the killing in a powerful victim impact statement. She addressed her ex-husband Sharif and his new wife Batool as "cowards".
