Sara Sharif stepmother reportedly got “the job everyone wants” in jail while waiting trial for murdering the schoolgirl and even cooked for her fellow inmates. Beinash Batool, 30, was handed a 33-year jail term after she and Sara’s father Urfan Sharif, 42, were found guilty of the torture and murder of Sara Sharif on December 17 last year. The 10-year-old suffered “unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety” as she was repeatedly beaten, burned, bitten and restrained at the family home in Woking, Surrey, the Old Bailey was told.
But during the trial it is reported that Batool was given an “easy” job in the library at HMP Bronzefield, while also given the task of cooking for fellow inmates. Despite the horrific charges that Batool faced, a former inmate at the high security prison who was released in October, said that she was given an enviable role right from the start.
“She got a job in the library in her block almost as soon as she got there,” they told The Sun. “It's the job everyone wants in there, you only have to work a few days a week and it's quite easy.” She added: “She was even allowed into the kitchen to cook a meal during the Eid religious festival for fellow prisoners.”.
During her sentencing Mr Justice Cavanagh said that Batool was prepared to “sacrifice” her stepdaughter stating: “Put bluntly, you did not care about Sara enough to save her.” Sara’s father Urfan Sharif was jailed for 40 years and her uncle Faisal Malik, 29, who was found guilty of causing or allowing her death, was jailed for 16 years.
