Mum wants to know why Sara suffered 'cruellest' death
Scottish Daily Express
|July 21, 2025
THE mother of murdered Sara Sharif is demanding “vital answers” ahead of her daughter’s inquest as she released a photo of the pair smiling in happier times.
The 10-year-old’s body was found in a bunkbed at the home she lived at with her dad and stepmum in Woking, Surrey, in 2023.
Sara had been hooded, burned and beaten during a campaign of torture that lasted two years.
Her father Urfan Sharif, 43, and stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, were jailed for life last December.
Concerns
Sara’s uncle Faisal Malik, 29, was sentenced to 16 years for causing or allowing her death.
