Sara Sharif's wicked father and stepmother lose bids to reduce their prison sentences for her murder - but judge rules her dad shouldn't get whole life tariff

Sara Sharif's evil father and stepmother will not have their jail sentences for the 10-year-old's murder changed - as an appeal judge also ruled the schoolgirl's killer dad should not receive a whole-life tariff behind bars. Sara Sharif, 10, died in August 2023 after being subjected to 'unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety', a court previously heard Sara's father Urfan Sharif was emotionless as he was found guilty of murdering his daughter. Earlier in the hearing, Tom Little KC, for the Solicitor General, said Sara's murder was a rare case of such 'exceptionally high seriousness' that it warranted a whole life order for Sharif. Ten-year-old Sara Sharif died in August 2023 after being subjected to 'unimaginable pain, misery and anxiety,' a trial at the Old Bailey heard Little Sara had suffered violence for years with a variety of weapons including a baseball bat and a metal pole Mr Little continued: 'The violence meted out to Sara was premeditated and repeated again and again, even if the murder itself was not.'
