Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool, the father and stepmother of Sara Sharif will have bids to appeal against their sentences for the 10-year-old's murder heard. Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool were jailed for life at the Old Bailey in December 2024, with minimum terms of 40 years and 33 years respectively after being found guilty of Sara's murder. Sara was found dead in a bunkbed at the family home in Woking, Surrey, in August 2023. Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, was found guilty of causing or allowing her death, and was jailed for 16 years. All three are seeking to challenge their sentences at the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Sara had suffered 71 'fresh' injuries, including 25 broken bones, iron burns on her bottom, scalding marks to her feet, and human bites. Within hours of Sara's death, Sharif and Batool had booked flights to Pakistan for the whole family, including her siblings. The defendants returned to the UK on September 13, 2023 leaving the children behind, and were detained within minutes of a flight touching down at Gatwick airport.
