Sara Sharif's father confesses to killing daughter

Sara Sharif’s father has accepted “full responsibility” for her death, a court has heard.

Her father Urfan Sharif, 42, stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, had denied murder after Sara’s body was found with dozens of injuries at the family’s home in Woking, Surrey, last year.

Under cross-examination at the Old Bailey, Mr Sharif said: “She died because of me.”

The court previously heard that Sara was hooded, burned and beaten during more than two years of abuse.
