URFAN SHARIF could stand it no longer. On August 10th 2023, just an hour after landing in Pakistan having fled Britain, he phoned the police in England and tearfully admitted to beating and killing his ten-year-old daughter, Sara. A court had awarded him care of Sara four years earlier, despite numerous reports suggesting he had been violent at home. Mr Sharif, along with his wife, is now back in Britain and in prison, having been found guilty of the child’s murder.
