Father Denies Murdering 10-Year-Old Sara Sharif Amid Emotional Court Testimony

Urfan Sharif recounts discovering his daughter's lifeless body and refutes allegations of abuse during trial at the Old Bailey.

Urfan Sharif, along with his wife Beinash Batool and brother Faisal Malik, is on trial accused of the murder of his daughter, Sara Sharif.
Sharif described feeling 'numb' and 'crushed' upon finding Sara unresponsive at their home in Woking, Surrey.
The court heard that Sara had suffered multiple injuries, including burns and bite marks, and displayed signs of restraint.
Sharif claimed he was unaware of the abuse and initially wrote a confession under Batool's instruction, later retracting it.
The defendants were arrested upon returning to the UK from Pakistan, where they fled shortly after Sara's death.
