It pleases me no end when an absolute beast (or pair of beasts) attempt to lessen their sentence and they appeal courts slap them with longer!! G'wan do it!!The father of Sara Sharif should have been given a whole life order for his daughter's murder, the Court of Appeal has been told.
Urfan Sharif, 43, and Sara's stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, were jailed for life in December, with minimum terms of 40 and 33 years respectively, after being found guilty of the 10-year-old's murder.
Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, was found guilty of causing or allowing her death and was jailed for 16 years.
All three are seeking leave to appeal their sentences, but the Solicitor General wants Sharif's sentence increased.
At a hearing to consider all aspects of the sentences, Tom Little KC, for the Solicitor General, said Sara's murder was a rare case of such "exceptionally high seriousness" that it warranted a whole life order for Sharif.
Judges at the Court of Appeal are hearing the application on behalf of Lucy Rigby KC MP, who said Sharif's sentence of a minimum of 40 years was "unduly lenient".

@Dotta
What has "the Daily Mail" been writing, semantically?
English is not my first language, but "after being caged for 16 years" = "having been caged for 16 years", meaning, he served sixteen years already.
Caged ≠ sentenced. Caged means "living in a cage", i.e., behind bars, or trapped in any way of form. One probably can say "after being sentenced to 16 yeas of encagement", if people insist on using the word.
Faisal barely spent a year behind bars.
Is Daily Mail using AI now?
I don't think HMP Lincoln is that cushy a number. It's Category B and rather overcrowded. The fact is that all English prisons are going to offer training courses so that the prisoners have more chance of getting a job when they are released and some means of keeping the inmates occupied whilst they are there.Don't ask me hehe
I'm NOT an English native speaker either
"Cushy prison" Jeez
"Cushy" & "prison" should never go hand in hand.
Innocent little Sara's grave is dark, hard & cold.
NOT "cushy" at all
