The murder trial of Urfan Sharif, Beinash Batool, and Faisal Malik has captured significant attention at London's Old Bailey. The trial revolves around the tragic death of 10-year-old Sara Sharif, who was found dead at her home in Woking in August 2023.

Prosecutors allege the young girl was the victim of a sustained campaign of "serious and repeated violence." Sharif's father, who reportedly fled to Pakistan after Sara's death, allegedly confessed, telling police, "I beat her up too much" but claimed he did not intend to kill her.

The defendants, including Sara's stepmother and uncle, deny the charges and blame each other for the incident. Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones indicated that each played a part in the abuse. The trial continues as the jury weighs the evidence.
