The British-Pakistani girl from Woking, Surrey, was found dead in her home with over 70 injuries, including fractures, a brain injury, burn marks, bite wounds, and a puncture to the head. Experts called it one of the worst cases of child abuse they had ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Court records revealed Sara endured a two-year campaign of torture. The day after her death, her father Urfan, stepmother Beinash Batool, and uncle Faisal Malik fled the UK. But they left behind a chilling handwritten note in the house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhoever sees this note, it\u2019s me Urfan Sharif who killed my daughter by beating. I am running away because I am scared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an international manhunt, the trio was captured in Pakistan and returned to the UK to face trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On December 17, 2024, sentencing was delivered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Urfan Sharif<\/strong>, 42, got <strong>life in prison (minimum 40 years)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beinash Batool<\/strong>, 30, received <strong>life (minimum 33 years)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faisal Malik<\/strong>, 29, was sentenced to <strong>16 years<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Cavanagh condemned their actions as \u201csadistic,\u201d and Sara\u2019s mother, Olga Domin, called them \u201cexecutioners,\u201d saying: \u201cEven the word \u2018sadists\u2019 does not describe you. You are monsters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since arriving at HMP Belmarsh, a notorious high-security prison, Urfan has reportedly lived in fear. Inmates often view child abusers as the lowest of the low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On New Year\u2019s Day, just weeks into his sentence, Urfan was attacked in his cell. Two inmates allegedly ambushed him with a weapon made from a tuna can lid, slashing his face and neck. He was hospitalized with deep wounds and will have permanent facial scars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the suspected attackers is said to be <strong>Steve Sansom<\/strong>, a double murderer serving life for the 2024 dismemberment of Sarah Mayhew. Even killers like Sansom reportedly viewed Urfan\u2019s crime as beyond redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assault raises tough questions: Is prison justice ever justified? While some see it as karma, others worry it sets a dangerous precedent inside already-violent facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the headlines, Sara\u2019s case is a devastating reminder of the urgent need for better child protection. Her death could have been prevented\u2014and every child deserves to live without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brutal murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif in 2023 shocked the world\u2014and now, her killer father Urfan Sharif has reportedly been violently assaulted in prison, as inmates&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
