Father and Family on Trial for the Fatal Abuse of 10-Year-Old Sara Sharif

Harrowing details emerge in court about the prolonged abuse Sara endured at the hands of her father and relatives.

Sara Sharif's father, Urfan Sharif, along with her stepmother Beinash Batool and uncle Faisal Malik, are charged with her murder.
Court evidence reveals Sara was subjected to severe physical abuse, including being forced to do sit-ups all night and being beaten until she was bruised black and blue.
Sara's stepmother's messages to her sister detail the abuse and attempts to hide Sara's injuries, which were later discovered by police.
Forensic examination found Sara suffered from 71 external injuries, including fractures, burns, and bite marks, indicating long-term abuse.
Following Sara's death, the accused fled to Pakistan but were arrested upon their return to London, where they now deny the murder charges.
