Sara Sharif's Stepmother and Uncle Opt Out of Testifying in Murder Trial

The trial continues as Sara's father takes responsibility for her death while the jury awaits further legal directions.

Sara Sharif's stepmother, Beinash Batool, and uncle, Faisal Malik, have chosen not to testify in their defense during the ongoing murder trial.
Sara's father, Urfan Sharif, initially blamed his wife but later admitted full responsibility for the 10-year-old's death.
Sara's body was discovered with multiple injuries, including burns and bite marks, at the family home in Woking, Surrey, in August 2023.
The prosecution alleges that the abuse was a long-term issue within the household, involving all three defendants.
The jury will reconvene on Wednesday for legal directions before closing arguments are presented.
