On New Year's Day, Urfan Sharif, a man who had committed the unthinkable act of murdering his own 10-year-old daughter, Sara, was attacked by two of his fellow inmates. This shocking incident took place at HMP Belmarsh, a prison located in South London. Just two weeks prior, Sharif had been sentenced to 40 years in prison for his heinous crime.
The attack left Sharif with a slashed neck, caused by a tuna can lid. While the injuries were serious and left him in a critical condition, he thankfully survived. Sara's death had been a tragic one, with her body being found by the police with a disturbing 71 injuries. She had been subjected to constant abuse and mistreatment in their family home in Woking, where Sharif had brutally beaten her even as she lay dying. The court had heard how Sara had endured unimaginable pain, suffering, and fear due to her father's repeated beatings, burnings, bites, and restraints.
The news of Sharif's attack in prison has brought shock and concern. The prison service has confirmed that they are conducting an investigation into the incident, but have refrained from providing any further details at this time. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police is also looking into the matter, stating that the 43-year-old had suffered non life-threatening injuries as a result of the assault.
Sharif's wife, Beinash Batool, and Sara's stepmother, had also been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for their involvement in the years of abuse and torture that ultimately led to Sara's murder. Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, who was found guilty of causing or allowing her death, was also handed a 16-year sentence.
During the televised sentencing at the Old Bailey, the judge, Mr. Justice Cavanagh, had described Sara's death as the culmination of years of neglect, frequent assaults, and what can only be described as torture at the hands of her father. He had also criticized Sharif's despicable treatment of Sara, which had taken place in plain sight and in front of the rest of the family.
The judge further stated that Sara was a brave and spirited child, who had refused to be submissive to her father's cruel ways. He also noted that Sharif's ego and sense of self-importance had been boosted by the power he held over his daughter and the rest of the family. It was a heartbreaking and tragic end for a young girl who had stood up against her father's abuse.
