The Facts

  • Sara Sharif, a 10-year-old girl who was found dead at her Surrey home in the UK in August 2023, was reportedly forced by her father into all-night sit-ups because she hid his keys. Sharif's stepmother had accused her father Urfan Sharif of thrashing the child for being "naughty.”

  • The stepmother, Beinash Batool — who, along Urfan Sharif and his brother Faisal Malik, is under trial for the girl's murder — reportedly informed her sister Qandeela Saboohi via WhatsApp messages sent in 2020 and 2023 about the physical abuse, adding "he will live to regret."
