IN FULL: Father and stepmother jailed for life for murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif

Sara Sharif's father and stepmother were handed life sentences for murdering the 10-year-old after she suffered years of abuse.
Urfan Sharif will serve at least 40 years in prison and Beinash Batool a minimum of 33 years.
Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, was also jailed for 16 years after being found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Sharif, 42, Batool, 30, and Malik, 29, fled to Pakistan with the rest of their family after Sara was killed at their home in Woking, Surrey, in August 2023.
She was found in a bunkbed two days later after minicab driver Sharif called police saying: "I've killed my daughter."
Sharif claimed "I beat her up too much" because "she was naughty", adding: "I legally punished her, and she died."
He had also written a three-page note found tucked under Sara's pillow which said: "Love you Sara" and "I swear to God that my intention was not to kill her but I lost it".
Sharif and Batool were found guilty of murder following a trial at the Old Bailey, while McDonald's worker Malik, who also lived in the house, was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.
In his sentencing remarks, Mr Justice Cavanagh said that Sara had suffered more than 70 fresh injuries and 25 fractures at the time of her death.
"This poor child was battered with great force, again and again," the judge said.
He said her injuries "included a fractured collar bone, two fractured shoulder blades, fractured ribs, a fractured humerus, eleven separate fractures to her spinal column, and fractures to bones in both of her hands."
He added: "The degree of cruelty involved is almost inconceivable.
"It is no exaggeration to describe the campaign of abuse against Sara as torture."
Sara's injuries also included a "serious brain injury" sustained a few days before she died and two open burn wounds on her bottom matching an iron found at the house.
The judge said this was something that would have required two people to carry out, one to hold her down and one to inflict the injury.
She was also tied up, covered with a makeshift hood, beaten with a cricket bat and metal pole and bitten, in the weeks before her death.
