Sara Sharif's mum breaks silence after evil father jailed for 40 years for murder

The mother of Sara Sharif has said a hundred years in jail would not be long enough for the tragic girl's father and stepmother. Olga Domin's 10-year-old girl was subjected to two years of torture at the hands of Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool. Today the pair were both sentenced to life in prison for Sara's murder, with Sharif told him must spend a minimum of 40 years behind bars before he is eligible for parole. Batool was given a minimum of 33 years.
Speaking out following today's sentencing, Sara's mum said she at least had some justice for her daughter. She told The Sun: "If anything has come from Sara's death is he is off the street and it will be a safer place for women without him. If I could push that syringe for a lethal injection I would do it with a smile on my face.".
The youngster had been the subject of a child protection plan from birth in January 2013 due to concerns she was at risk from Sharif and Olga. Social services were repeatedly called after children including Sara suffered unexplained bruising, bite marks, burns and scratches.
Sharif played on his Olga's broken English and vulnerability to blame her and in 2019 he was awarded custody of his daughter. Olga would go onto tell Polish TV channel Uwaga of her killer ex: "Once, he tried to set me on fire, poured oil on me, but his cousin stopped him. He simply locked me in a room. Locked me in all day until the police arrived.".
Olga fled Britain with her new husband Krzysztof Bednarz weeks after Sara's murder. A friend said: "She was completely devastated. I don't think she wanted to stay in the country where such a thing had happened to her daughter. She needed to get away. It's very sad.".
