In a harrowing trial at the Old Bailey, Urfan Sharif, father of Sara Sharif, admitted to being the ‘worst parent on the planet’ as he faced charges of her murder. Sara, just five years old, was discovered dead at their home in Woking in August 2023, with evidence of severe abuse over two years. While denying direct involvement in her injuries, Mr. Sharif acknowledged that violence had become normalized in their household. His testimony raised questions about the complicity of others in the family, as prosecutors presented disturbing evidence, including a bloodstained cricket bat linked to Sara’s trauma. The trial is ongoing.
