STEPMOTHER, FATHER BAGS LIFE SENTENCE OVER MURDER OF DAUGHTER
A UK court Tuesday handed life sentences to the father and stepmother of a 10-year-old British-Pakistani girl who died after being subjected to a prolonged campaign of “despicable abuse”.
Urfan Sharif, 43, and Beinash Batool, 30, were sentenced at London’s Old Bailey court for the murder of Sara Sharif, whose body was found covered in bites and bruises with broken bones and burns. They will each serve at least 40 and 33 years respectively, the judge told them.
