And blames the children!

Hmmm...
Interesting
that a Defence lawyer didn't ask about a belt :rolleyes:

And oh,
about a confession note "I lost it legally punishing my daughter" found in the victim's bed.

Oh,
and the famous emergency call from Islamabad.

Father begged to save Sara Sharif but was told ‘Leave it, she’s dead’ – court heard.


Jurors heard that Sharif initially decided to take the blame for Sara’s death and go to Pakistan
after Batool claimed that
another child had injured her.

Mr Mian suggested that Sharif had wrongly been cast as the
“villain of the piece”
because he only disciplined her with a “slap”.

Sharif had been working when Sara collapsed at home last August 8
and Batool told him to
“come home”,

the court heard.

Mr Mian told jurors:
“He came home and found her upstairs,
with Beinash Batool, limp.
He will tell you that he asked
‘What the hell has happened?’,
as any one of your number would.

“Having been told what had happened, he said
I will take the blame’.

“He will tell you that he attempted CPR,
that he begged for an ambulance to be called as he did CPR.

"And he was told in Urdu or Punjabi
‘Leave it, she’s dead,
leave it, she’s dead".

Regarding U's assertions today: A six-month domestic abuse programme would support refraining from any "slapping" whatsoever as it would be a slippery slope. Much like AA meetings encourage alcoholics not even to sip alcohol again.

Interesting that Batool called Sharif whilst at work to say Sara had collapsed. And that he said he would take the blame, when the account of what had happened, provided by Batool, blamed the other children/another child?

I guess there will be data re the phone call that was made on 8 August?

He shamelessly accused others:
1. Olga of previous abuse
2. His own son, Sara's brother
( because what children does he mean:
little sisters, Baby boy?)
3. His wife B

What about Dear Uncle?

I feel sick.

B never mentioned Sara's brother in her messages.
But explicitly wrote about abusive husband.

What a shame!

Once he's finished giving evidence in his own defence he'll be cross-examined by the prosecution, who I'm sure will be asking him in detail about all those things and more.

Of course.
I trust Prosecution to shred it all into tiny pieces.

It is high time for Truth.
Nothing but the Truth.

It just goes to show urfans complete disregard for his children if one of the lines of defence is Sara's injuries were thought by urfan to be inflicted by a child . What a coward ,if he was so innocent why did he not stay behind .at any stage he could stopped of with the plan to go to Pakistan. Made an excuse ,trip to the toliet to evade the others anything but no he left his daughters dead body alone in that house ,A home sara should have felt safe and secure instead she was put through horrors unimaginable. It just sickens me

Hopefully things will get very uncomfortable for him

His pleads weren't loud enough were they ?? Poor abused urfan (extreme sarcasm) what I wouldn't do for 10 mins in a room with a baseball bat and a certain someone

In the below from that article, he probably says "Never" when the truth is "No"
and "No" when the truth is "Yes"

*Defence barrister Naeem Mian, KC, asked him: 'Are you, Urfan Sharif, responsible for the death of Sara Sharif?' 'No,' Urfan replied.
'Did you, Urfan Sharif, bite Sara Sharif?' Mr Mian asked. 'Never,' Urfan replied.
'Did you, Urfan Sharif, burn Sara Sharif?' Mr Mian asked. 'No,' Urfan replied.
'Did you, Urfan Sharif, beat Sara Sharif with a cricket bat?' Mr Mian said. 'No,' Sharif replied.
Did you beat Sara with a white pole?' Mr Mian asked. 'No,' Urfan replied.*

My Goodness!
Who is this guy? :oops:
How on earth did he manage to find 3 women who decided to become his wives?

And look at them now!

- First one deserted and left in Pakistan.
- Second one abused and left childless and broken.
- Third one belittled and humiliated in public and now sitting in a Court of Law accused of terrible things.

And families of the women warned them.
Families could see his true colours.

"Sharif wept in the witness box
as he described his daughter, saying: “She was beautiful, an angel, lovely, bubbly … her favourite food was chicken biryani and she hated eating bread."

Ladies and Gentlemen.

And the Oscar goes to....

I think U. is a horrible partner, father, and person
; yet I had a funny feeling about his "confession(s)" from the start. Something about the wording or the timing - I had trouble believing it was the truth, the whole truth anyway. It simply felt fishy. I could be 1000% wrong on thinking this. My 2 theories were; 1, he confessed due to actual honest to God guilt; or 2, he confessed to protect someone else.
I think it was U and B's demeanor, but also the injuries - many of them lined up well with being caused by someone who is a homemaker. Not to say blunt force trauma was not inflicted by U - but the less common injuries - I have always felt were B.

I had wondered, if my gut is not wrong, why he would cover for B. He clearly is willing to leave a wife. But, If he was told it was the 13yo son, I can see why he might take the blame.

I also noticed He's the one showing visible emotion for Sara - too little, too late IMO, even if it is genuine. I don't think for a second he is innocent, he's proven to be an abuser - but I fear that it is sometimes not that simple, and with B he found a wife who can match him in cruelty.

Yes, the 'confession' has always been strange. But if he genuinely thought he was protecting one of his other children, I can see why he might have confessed that way. And maybe thought getting the children to Pakistan was so vital?

It won't be the first case whereby a step parent has given a false account of events to cover their abuse.

From my favourite Dragon:

Tuesday, November 5

The Prosecution concluded its case today by showing additional text messages between Beinash Batool, Sara’s step mother, and her sister Qandeela S. not previously seen by the jury.

The messages detailed Urfan’s physical abuse of the children,
his insistence on Sara being
withdrawn from mainstream education,
and the stress this caused Beinash in June 2022
when she was nine months pregnant.

In the messages,
Beinash stated that she didn’t want to live in an abusive relationship
and accused her sisters of not supporting her when she needed their help.


In February 2022 she stated in a message that she had to act fast and choose whether to save the
relationship or leave it.

In February 2022
she stated in a message that she had to act fast and choose whether to save the
relationship or leave it.

Further agreed facts were also read out,
detailing that
Beinash Batool sought advice from solicitors in February 2022.

They advised her on non-molestation orders and Child Arrangement Orders.

In April 2022,
she emailed them asking what forms she needed to
obtain a court order for the children and stepchildren.


Wow
Isn't it interesting?

So the latest from the link Dotta posted above, Batool told Sharif that Sara's older brother was responsible for what happened to Sara; and that her children were not going into care because of his child's actions. That's why they had to go to Pakistan.
 
  • #678
I think it is more likely than not that Urfan is the main perpetrator. He has history of DV. He has history of blaming others. He has history of pulling the wool over the eyes of the court. Hopefully, the jury will not be fooled and they will convict him of murder. The other two should be convicted of allowing the death of a child.

More from G. Dragon

U. described his employment, including work at Burger King, then McDonald’s, before becoming a full-time taxi driver in 2011.

He admitted that he had to leave McDonald’s because he stole £1,700 from them.
:oops:

Sharif told the court that he had wanted to
leave Batool on many occasions,
and that
she had beaten him,
one time requiring him to be taken to hospital :rolleyes:
but that he chose to stay for the sake of their children.


Much much more in the link:


I pity the poor Jury

Honestly,
I have a feeling I'm in a "mad house".
All are guilty: a son & wives
and a certain guy is "whiter than a lily".
Please, wake me up from this nightmare :oops:

I expected something more intelligent from defence.
