Murder of 10-year-old Sara: Father and stepmother convicted!

The cruel truth about the murder of little Sara Sharif: father and stepmother condemned!

The tragedy around ten -year -old Sara Sharif, who was found dead in her home in Great Britain last year, shaken the country. On Wednesday, a jury on Old Bailey in London made the verdict: her father Urfan Sharif and the stepmother Beinash Batool were spoken for murder. A process that brought to light the shocking details of years of ill -treatment and torture!

What happened to little Sara? The case is a nightmare that developed over the years. Sara, who was found dead on August 8, 2023, was the victim of unimaginable cruelty. Her father, the 43-year-old taxi driver Urfan Sharif, and the 30-year-old stepmother Beinash Batool had abused and tortured her over at least two years.

The terrible find

On August 10, 2023, the officials Sara's lifeless body discovered under a ceiling in a loft bed in their home in Woking, Surrey, about 36 kilometers southwest of London. The circumstances of her death were shattering: a handwritten note next to her body revealed the cruel truth. In it, Urfan Sharif confessed: "I killed my daughter with blows. It wasn't my intention to kill her, but I did it too much."

The autopsy showed that Sara had suffered at least 71 external injuries and over 100 internal and external injuries. The cruel details of their abuse, including fire injuries and bite wounds, shocked the public. Her injuries were the result of "repeated blunt trauma". The police even found a cricket racket with Sara's blood and plastic bags, which had exactly the right size to be pulled over their heads.

The escape and arrest

The situation escalated when the family flew to Pakistan on August 9, 2023. Just an hour after landing in Islamabad, Urfan Sharif called the police in Surrey and made his shocking confessions. On September 13, 2023, Sharif, Batool and Uncle Faisal Malik voluntarily returned to Great Britain, where they were immediately arrested at Gatwick Airport.

The negotiation that stretched over ten weeks revealed the abysses of the abuse that Sara had suffered. Her school teachers had repeatedly expressed concerns about the visible injuries before they deregistered from school, but the authorities did not enter. The case raises questions: How could something like this happen in a modern country?

The cruel reality is that Sara was not the first to suffer from Urfan Sharif. Reports of abuse of other women who were connected to him were also presented during the process. The case not only broken people's hearts, but also questioned the system that should have prevented such tragedies.

On December 17, 2023, the verdict for Urfan Sharif, Beinash Batool and Faisal Malik is pending. The judge described the case as "extremely stressful and traumatic". The memories of Sara's laugh and her joy in life are in stark contrast to what happened to her. The five siblings of Sara, who traveled to Pakistan with the family, stay there for the time being, while the world is waiting for justice for little Sara.
