Sara Sharif’s body was found at her home in Woking on 10 August last year<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Sara Sharif\u2019s father will be in the \u201ccircles of hell for eternity\u201d for what he did to his daughter, a court has heard.<\/p>\n

Urfan Sharif had previously admitted at the Old Bailey that he was \u201ca cruel father\u201d and that he had beat Sara, but he said that he did not mean to seriously harm her.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old has denied murder and causing or allowing the 10-year-old\u2019s death. Sara\u2019s stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, have also denied the charges.<\/p>\n

The court previously heard that Sara had been hooded, burned and beaten<\/a> during more than two years of abuse before her body was found with dozens of injuries at the family\u2019s home in Woking, Surrey, last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Under cross-examination, Mr Sharif previously accepted \u201cfull responsibility\u201d for Sara’s death<\/a>, but denied intending to kill her.<\/p>\n

On his client\u2019s shock admissions, Mr Mian KC said it came as \u201ca total surprise\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhat happened to Sara was awful and that must be the understatement of the year. It was savage, it was brutal.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may think quite rightly and deservedly so that that man will never forgive himself. He will be in the circles of hell for eternity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s undoubtedly guilty of something, but the question for you members of the jury is of what, and that\u2019s something you\u2019ve got to unpack yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A post-mortem examination found Sara had suffered injuries including “probable human bite marks”, an iron burn and scalding from hot water before she died on 8 August 2023.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC previously said a bloodstained cricket bat, a rolling pin with Sara\u2019s DNA on it, a metal pole, a belt and rope were found near the family\u2019s outhouse.<\/p>\n

Mr Mian KC said the fractures Mr Sharif caused were healing by the time of her death and were not a \u201csignificant contributory factor\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ms Batool\u2019s barrister Caroline Carberry KC rejected Mr Sharif\u2019s description of the stepmother as a \u201cpsycho\u201d, stating the only psychopath in the courtroom was him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sole perpetrator of the violence that led to Sara\u2019s death is Urfan Sharif,\u201d she told the jury.<\/p>\n

She pointed to his admissions under cross-examination that he hit her in the face and head repeatedly with a bat and pole two days before her death.<\/p>\n

The trial continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
