Father Denies Murdering 10-Year-Old Sara Sharif Amid Allegations of Abuse

Urfan Sharif, on trial at the Old Bailey, claims stepmother Beinash Batool is the 'true villain' in the case involving his daughter's death.

Sara Sharif was found dead in her Woking home on August 10, 2023, with numerous injuries including burns and bite marks.
Urfan Sharif, along with his wife Beinash Batool and brother Faisal Malik, is accused of a campaign of abuse leading to Sara's death.
Sharif claims he only slapped Sara and denies causing her death, asserting he attempted CPR and begged for an ambulance.
The defense suggests Batool was responsible, highlighting her refusal to provide dental impressions for bite mark comparisons.
All three defendants deny charges of murder and causing or allowing the death of a child, with the trial ongoing.
