Man, wife, sentenced for life over daughter’s murder in UK
A man, identified as Urfan Sharif, and his wife, Beinash Batool, have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of their daughter, Sara Sharif in the United Kingdom.
The 43 year old man and his 30 year old wife, who happens to be the step mother of the deceased, received their sentence on Tuesday.
They are expected to serve at least 40 and 33 years respectively for killing their daughter.
The 10-year-old British-Pakistani girl reportedly died after being subjected to a prolonged “campaign of torture” and “despicable abuse.”
It was disclosed to the court that the body of the deceased had been found covered in bites and bruises with broken bones and burns inflicted by an electric iron.
Passing sentence, Judge John Cavanagh said Sara had been subjected to “acts of extreme cruelty” but that Sharif and Batool had not shown “a shred of remorse.”
“The stress, pain and trauma that this campaign of violence will have caused to Sara is hard to contemplate.
Sara had been beaten with a metal pole and cricket bat and “trussed up” with a “grotesque combination of parcel tape, a rope and a plastic bag” over her head, the judge said.
