Sara Sharif's killer father 'attacked in prison'

Police are investigating after the father of Sara Sharif was reportedly assaulted in prison weeks after being jailed for the 10-year-old's murder.

Urfan Sharif is said to have been attacked at Belmarsh Prison on New Year's Day by two other inmates in a cell, the Sun newspaper reported.

Sharif reportedly suffered cuts to his neck and face, and it is understood he received medical treatment inside the prison.

Sharif, 43, and Sara's stepmother were sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted at the Old Bailey last month of killing Sara at their home in Woking, Surrey.

A Prison Service spokesperson said: "Police are investigating an assault on a prisoner at HMP Belmarsh on 1 January.

"It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate."

Belmarsh is a Category A jail in south-east London housing some of the UK's most dangerous prisoners.

According to the Sun, Sharif was assaulted with a makeshift weapon.

A Met Police spokesperson said: "Police are investigating an allegation that a prisoner was assaulted at HMP Belmarsh on 1 January.

"The victim, a 43-year-old man, suffered non-life threatening injuries."

Sara was hooded, burned and beaten during a "campaign of torture" that lasted two years before her body was found at the family home in August 2023.

Urfan Sharif was sentenced to a minimum of 40 years in prison for murder, while his wife Beinash Batool, 30, received a minimum of 33 years.

Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, was sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment for causing or allowing her death.

The three fled to Islamabad, Pakistan, with Sara's five siblings, the day before her body was found, prompting an international manhunt.

They hid out there for four weeks before returning to the UK, where they were arrested.

Judges who oversaw family court proceedings related to care of Sara Sharif can be named​


Three judges who oversaw family court proceedings related to the care of Sara Sharif can be named next week, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

Mr Justice Williams issued a ruling last year that the three judges involved in the historical family court cases related to the 10-year-old, as well as social workers and guardians could not be named, due to a "real risk" of harm from a "virtual lynch mob".

News organisations appealed against Mr Williams's decision over the court case related to 10-year-old Sara, who was murdered by her father and stepmother.

Sharif and Sara's stepmother, Beinash Batool, were jailed for life in December for years of horrific "torture" and "despicable" abuse that led to her murder.
