Sara Sharif’s killer dad has ‘had his neck slashed with a tuna can lid in prison’ just two weeks after he was sentenced for his daughter’s murder. Urfan Sharif was attacked by two of his fellow inmates on New Year’s Day at HMP Belmarsh in South London.
The 43-year-old was sentenced to 40 years in prison after he subjected Sara, 10, to horrific abuse at their home in Woking – including beating her as she lay dying. She was found dead in their home by police with at least 71 injuries, and was beaten so regularly she became incontinent.

The court heard that she suffered ‘unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety’ as she was repeatedly beaten, burned, bitten and restrained at the family home. It is understood Sharif was left in a critical condition after the attack with cuts to his face and neck, but has survived.
