I have always wondered why this little girls murder didn't feature more prominent in the media except for Guilford dragon I felt I was always trawling msm to find an article . And if I did come across one it was buried in other nonsense stories . I was very surprised that Daily mail with it notoriety for rehashing details didn't run the story more

Sorry, but I don't agree.

The trial was reported by many MSM titles:
DM, BBC, Guardian, Independent, Standard and many others.
Also The Times (paywall).
The Times has unique pictures of Sara which I never saw before.
(See "Google Pictures"
The Times Sara Sharif).

Now they are all just waiting for the verdict.

Of course,
Guildford Dragon sent the most detailed reports,
but I guess b/c they are local to the tragedy (Surrey).

DM has many reports from the very beginning (from 2023).
They even have special list of all reports

It occurred to me that Sara must have been very strong/tough emotionally and physically to survive so long - 2 years of torture iirc. I know that children can be more resilient than they're given credit for, but still.
otoh obviously nobody could survive what she went through for ever, no matter their resilience or strength.

RIP Sara, and much strength to her family members who care about her. It must be so hard for them waiting for a verdict.

Maybe I didn't word it right Dotta . I began posting on ws during the jay slater case I know it was different as he was missing. But daily mail had hourly updates and reems of articles rehashing same facts The other case I was posting on was a cold case so didn't have an expectation of daily articles and had to scour the internet for those. Maybe it's because I'm a relative newbie I thought the same would apply in Sara's case whereby i would see same level of articles. Also I know some cases generate more clicks from the public so newspapers respond to that by having more content.

Perhaps also those cases did not involve the newspapers having to observe the rules of the court once a trial has started. They very much inhibit what comment is allowed, I believe much more in England than in the USA.

I agree that you would have expected the British papers to have published far more than they have about this case. I have only seen two publish a lot and one of them was not even a national

I really wish the old-bailey.com site would stop writing in their reports about the father punishing her for being "naughty". I know that's what he said in court, but I wish they'd stop reporting in that manner- it sounds very much
victim blaming and it's a really really horrible way to phrase it especially as she is dead.

This is a murder trial, not a trial of whether he is guilty or not of "punishing her for being naughty" so "admitting" to that is not what the case is about and it is dreadful terminology given the circumstances.

Eight weeks of disturbing and distressing evidence​


Helena Wilkinson
Reporting from court

The eight-week Old Bailey trial heard disturbing and distressing details about how Sara was brutally treated.

In the pictures we saw of Sara she was always smiling.

But behind it she was being subjected to the most cruel acts. She was beaten, burned and bitten.

During the trial, Urfan Sharif dramatically confessed to beating his daughter.

Beinash Batool refused to provide dental impressions for bite marks that were found on Sara.

There was prosecution evidence too that Sara had homemade hoods placed over her head and that she had been tied up and restrained.

A pathologist told the trial that the cause of death was not specific to a single injury or incident, but it was broad from "complications arising from multiple injuries and neglect”.

Sara Sharif verdict: Sara Sharif's father and stepmother guilty of her murder - live updates

Sara’s father Urfan Sharif and stepmother Beinash Batool are found guilty of murdering the 10-year-old in Surrey last year.

Sara Sharif's father and stepmother are found guilty of murdering girl

Sara Sharif's father Urfan Sharif, 42, and stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, have been found guilty at the Old Bailey of the 10-year-old's murder. Her uncle was found guilty of causing or allowing her death.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

This article has a video of Sara singing.
  • Sharif had been accused of attacking three women and two children including a one-month-old baby, who suffered a similar catalogue of bruises, burns and bites, but he was never charged with any offence.
  • After arriving in the UK on a student visa, the taxi driver preyed on vulnerable women as young as 17 whom he attempted to wed in a bid to get a UK passport
  • He held one woman at knifepoint, choked another with a belt and imprisoned one girlfriend for five days while he sent her passport off for a marriage application in a bid to secure residency in the UK.
  • In a sickening twist, Sharif managed to escape justice for so long by claiming he was the real victim, grooming children to cover for him including a 14-year-old who was due to testify that he was innocent before Sharif's dramatic confession to Sara's killing midway through the trial.
  • His wife Batool is a scheming thief and liar who pretended she had twins with another man and already had two secret husbands when she wed Sharif.
  • Sharif's family shielded him in Pakistan after the killing, lying about seeing Sara on video happily having dinner with her family on the night she died
  • Police in Pakistan brought false charges against Sharif's family to force him to return to the UK
The manipulative bully first came to police's attention in December 2007 after his 18-year-old girlfriend Angelika jumped out of a window to escape Sharif who held her at knifepoint threatening to kill her.
