Wow!! I wonder if the court will accept that or continue to question B and F.

Cannot find anyone else at moment who is reporting on it. I thought maybe it was when he confessed on phone or in interview but it says ‘breaking.’

Cannot find anyone else at moment who is reporting on it. I thought maybe it was when he confessed on phone or in interview but it says ‘breaking.’

It says confesses rather than confessed so it must be in the present rather than past. I wonder if it is his brother he wants to save from being questioned and charged.

Sara Sharif's father tells jurors he 'takes full responsibility' for her death

Urfan Sharif, who denies murder, admits causing at least 25 fractures by hitting 10-year-old Sara with a cricket bat or pole.

news.sky.com

Sharif made the admission under cross-examination as his wife sobbed in the dock at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.

Previously, Sharif had sought to blame Batool for killing his daughter but, in a dramatic admission, told jurors: "I accept every single thing."

Sara was found dead at the family home in Woking, Surrey, last August 10 after the defendants fled to Pakistan.



She suffered dozens of injuries including human bite marks and iron burns, jurors have heard.

You are led to believe that Sara was happier with Beinash because that is her job, to get BB acquitted or at least to minimise her involvement to get her a lesser charge / reduced sentence.

Women absolutely do have the power to inflict terrible injuries - especially on a small child, and there have been many many cases of women causing horrific injuries to children. Look at the crimes of Shelly Knotek for example.
I am currently following the case of Avantae Deven, who is charged with killing 2 of her adopted children. (There are many many more examples - I’m sure others on here could give more examples).

I am still waiting for an explanation for those bite marks, and why Beinash is the only one refusing to give a dental impression.

It also troubles me that experts have reported that Sara’s wounds were not treated.
So even IF Beinash did not inflict those injuries on Sarah, it troubles me that she didn’t even try to help her or to treat her.
I feel like even if she didn’t inflict the abuse on her, there should be signs that she had tried to at least help her, ease her suffering, but there’s no sign that she ever received any treatment for any of her injuries.

I do understand why you would be on the fence though, and I agree, I am also interested to hear evidence from the prosecution.

Thank you for your understanding and input

I also believe all 3 are guilty and I want all 3 to recieve the longest sentence possible.
I acknowledged in my post that Caroline is trying to swing the jury in the favour of her client . I was merely summarising all I can recall from msm re bienash's actions .I'm just on the fence regarding is she guilty of allowing the death of a child by doing sweet F.A. to help Sara or is she guilty of murder by actually inflicting physical violence on Sara . This is why I'm eager to hear what the prosecutions case is ,as from articles so far it is not clear as to what evidence they have of her actually delivering blows . Whereas urfan has a previous history as long as my arm

On women being capable of inflicting horrific injuries on children I agree they are . I was taking into account testosterone levels that would enable a majority of men to have more physical strength than MOST women I did say it may sound sexist but it is a scientific fact . I also would not know if bienash may have had the same strength as urfan and whether it was indeed her that delivered the blows strong enough to break the shoulder blades .

A couple of bones in the body can be red flags in abuse cases and whom may have inflicted them by how hard it is to break them even through an accident such as a severe car crash .one is the shoulder blades the other is the hyoid both which were broken in Sara the others are the skull and femur bone . We rarely hear of anyone breaking these bones through accidently means such as a fall

Sharif has now confessed.

It's being reported as a breaking news story.. with Sharif stating that he accepts everything. He might be trying to save his brother...quite a dramatic turn around though.

I don't believe the uncle was responsible...but was potentially facing jail as an adult living in the same house who did not intervene. More details to come....

Not sure what will happen to the trial now.

Father of Sara Sharif ‘takes full responsibility’ for daughter’s death

ETA I don't believe this will absolve the others and I find it difficult to attribute noble motives to Urfan Sharif in doing this. So much damaging information has been presented to the court - could he, advised by his lawyers, be hoping for a more lenient sentence?

Sara Sharif's father 'takes full responsibility' for death of daughter

Taxi driver Urfan Sharif, 42, who is on trial at the Old Bailey, confessed that he had battered the 10-year-old schoolgirl with a cricket bat and a metal pole.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Caroline Carberry, KC, defending his wife Beinash Batool, 30, asked: 'Did you beat her? Did you inflict injuries on her'

Speaking softly in the dock, he nodded, saying: 'Yes.' He added: 'I take full responsibility.'

He denied biting or burning his daughter when asked to look at a folder detailing the injuries on her body. 'I can't do that. I can't look at it. I take full responsibility,' he said.

Ms Carberry said: 'Did you use the cricket bat to inflict these injuries.'

He said: 'Yes ma'am.'

She went on: 'Did you use a white metal pole to cause these marks.'

He answered: 'Yes ma'am.'

He said he took 'full responsibility' for breaking bones in her neck, but he did not know if he used a belt to cause the injury.

Batool fled the dock in tears as he confessed. The Old Bailey trial was paused this morning after the dramatic admissions.

Sharif, Batool, and Sara's uncle Faisal Malik, 29, formerly of Hammond Road, Woking, deny Sara's murder and causing or allowing her death.

We also haven't heard from defence AFAIK that urfan was physically abusive to bienash as I'm sure she would have kept 'reciepts" . Another indication that bienash had somewhat control over her own life and actions and urfan didn't control her is the fact her phone seems to contain messages that implicate urfan maybe they were retrieved by police through data or only the sister had them undeleted idk but she certainly didn't seem fearful urfan would find out

Yes, don’t worry I understand, I was also on the fence about her involvement.

I am curious about what happens now that Urfan has confessed and accepted responsibility for Sara’s death.

What happens to BB & the uncle?
Would they be automatically acquitted if he has confessed?

I very much doubt they will be aquited as there are other charges ,they did not seek help for Sara . They could also have abused Sara and caused injuries.

 

[Pinkestpanther]

So will more details as to who did what come to light now? Will the others still face charges? I'm still thinking about the bites on Sara....not caused by Sharif so who?

Sharif's confession at this stage is odd...back to square one in some ways.

Not sure what will happen to the trial now.

I still think they will all be sentenced as bienash and quite possibly the uncle allowed the death of a child

I don't think this is urfan doing the right thing I feel his barrister had a word and said the video evidence and testimonials of social workers etc incriminate him too much and to change his plea for a more favourable sentence so instead of life with out parole . A time determined sentence such as 20 years or so . Don't think he did it to save bienash or uncle at all

I HOPE
B & dear uncle will NOT escape Justice

Sara Sharif: Father takes responsibility for death of 10-year-old daughter

Urfan Sharif accepts “responsibility” for her death but denies he meant to kill her, a court heard.

www.bbc.com

But on Wednesday, as the court day was getting under way, Mr Sharif unexpectedly said: “I admit what I said in my phone call and my written note. Every single word.”

In response to questioning from Ms Batool’s barrister Caroline Carberry KC, Mr Sharif suddenly said: “I want to say something”.

“It was you who inflicted those injuries on her, wasn’t it?”, Carberry KC asked.

“Yes”, he said.

“On the night of 6 August, you badly beat Sara?”, Carberry KC added.

“Yes,” he said.

Mr Sharif also told the court that he caused fractures to Sara and used a cricket bat and a metal pole.

At this stage, Ms Batool, who had been sobbing loudly, left the court and the hearing was suspended.

That's what I think, too. The prosecution and Caroline Carberry have done such a good job and the details are so damning that he's been advised this is the best course of action. But we shall see...
