Thanks. Does each person have a separate prosecutor?

 

[Dotta]

Thanks. Does each person have a separate prosecutor?

No.

But each of them has a separate Defence KC Barrister.

Defence Teams, actually.

No.

Got it. Thanks.

That does not look like a house where half a dozen young kids live. And I thought the backyard was bleak.

MOO

No,
The children are living with grandfather according to link upthread.


Oh,
another link from yesterday

"Batool had described Sharif as a 'psycho'.

On 21 December 2020, Batool told S.
that Sharif would 'regret' it
if Sara revealed he 'hits her like crazy and all the bruises' before adding:
'I literally have to push Urfan out the way and save Sara'.

Batool wrote:
'Urfan is going crazy beating Sara up.
I’m kind of having a panic attack ….
I have no idea what to do … I’m in the other room,
he’s locked us out,
he’s not opening the door'.

On 10 February 2022,
she said
Sharif had beaten Sara at 1.30am in the morning when the girl was asleep
'because of the bad behaviour she was doing for a while,
he randomly got angry'."

I'm worried the children will be abused by Urfan's family. Urfan learned that it's ok to beat children from somewhere...

Probably Sara's bedding in the washing machine. :-(

Today is 1st November

which in my country, Poland,
is dedicated to
all those who have left this world and are already in eternity.

We visit cemeteries and light candles at the graves of our loved ones.

This poem is my tribute in memory of Sara Sharif.

A warning to those who harm others

You who wronged

You who wronged a simple man
Bursting into laughter at the crime,
And kept a pack of fools around you
To mix good and evil, to blur the line,

Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.
You can kill one, but another is born.
The words are written down, the deed, the date. […]

Czesław Miłosz,
Polish Nobel Prize Poet

Social workers refused to take action into the family of 10-year-old Sara Sharif before she was murdered
despite teachers repeatedly spotting bruises on her face,
a court heard.

Sara's school had referred the family to social services after she gave different explanations to different members of staff about bruises to her face.

Six days after the referral was made to Surrey social services,
staff had already decided not to intervene
and Sara was withdrawn from school within four weeks.

On Friday,
jurors were shown clips from officers’ body-worn video capturing the moment police boarded the plane and detained the defendants at 7.42pm, seven minutes after touch down.

As officers approached,
Batool raised her hand and said:

“I think you’re looking for us.”

Sharif, who had been sitting next to her, was asked if he had any items or bags on the flight and replied that he did not.

After being taken off the plane, the defendants were arrested and put into police vans.

It seems the trial is proceeding at full force.
Good!

Bienash's account is strange. I don't buy it at all. Once again I find her messages odd...more like a way of absolving herself from blame than anything else. It may be the reporting but there seems to be little emotion from her. I don't detect fear, anguish, worry, sadness in her messages. Then she implies Sara is not right mentally. And her account of Sara's actions and reasons for being punished...a young child hiding keys and cutting up clothes? When the repercussions of such actions are so severe?

I agree, something is off. If what she says is true, does Sara hiding the car keys mean that she didn’t want her father to leave the house?

I remember a case where a child hid one parent's keys for that exact reason - to not be left alone at home with their abuser. I think I read it in a memoir by a now-adult victim. I immediately thought of that child and wondered, if true, why she would want to keep her father home. It's horrific because the only reason I can think is that, perhaps, he was the lesser of two evils in her mind.

What a terribly sad thought, but I think you are very much correct in thinking it, @bootsinmass

I don't think we will ever know the truth.

Exactly. Actually, we are not allowed to speak the truth about such kind of cases openly.

I hope the dna on the belt is enough evidence to prove faisal was involved in Sara's beatings to ensure he doesn't escape justice

In one of the WhatsApp messages bienash discussed with her sister that she was unsure about whether to call the police . The sister replied no . I'm confused about this as what if bienash's sister replied yes . Would she have called them . If bienash was manipulative in her messaging and was leaving a trail of what appear to show that she cared about sara and was fearful of urfan herself. Did bienash know her sister would say no to calling the police ?

Or Sara was being set up. To be punished for doing it (when she didn't) or for saying she didn't do it (which would have actually been true) in order for the father to beat her. Master plan orchestrated by a stepmother who resented her. And I can just imagine what the father would do if poor Sara dared say anything positive about her mother or negative about his wife. IMO it was the stepmother setting up Sara to take the father's beatings (believing his wife over Sara) and getting away with daily murder because she knew Sara couldn't tell on her, she'd made sure Sara would never be believed. Really sophisticated, unfathomably wicked conspiracy of abuse of which no child, no one ultimately could survive.

Beyond cruel, beyond human -- beneath --

Special place in hell.
