Woking: So, it turns out that Urfan Sharif, the father of the murdered schoolgirl Sara Sharif, got attacked in prison. Crazy, right? Reports say he was ambushed by two other inmates on New Year’s Day.
They apparently used a jagged tuna can lid as a weapon. Ouch! He ended up with some cuts on his neck and face but didn’t need to go to the hospital, thank goodness.
The folks at HMP Belmarsh confirmed that the police are looking into the whole situation. They said it wouldn’t be right to say much more while the investigation is ongoing.
Urfan and Sara’s stepmother, Beinash Batool, were sentenced to life in prison last December for the horrific abuse that led to Sara’s tragic death. It’s just heartbreaking.
During the trial, the court heard how Sara suffered unimaginable pain and torture at home. It’s just gut-wrenching to think about what she went through.
Urfan got a minimum of 40 years, while Batool received 33 years. Sara’s uncle, Faisal Malik, was also sentenced to 16 years for his role in her death.
The judge didn’t hold back during sentencing, calling Sara’s treatment despicable and saying it was like torture. It’s just so sad that a child had to endure such cruelty.
