Sara Sharif’s father and stepmother will be sentenced today for killing the 10-year-old after years of horrific abuse.
Urfan Sharif, 42, and stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, were found guilty of her murder following a trial at the Old Bailey last week.
Her uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, who lived with them, was convicted of causing or allowing her death after a jury deliberated for nine hours and 46 minutes.
The three defendants will return to the Old Bailey where Mr Justice Cavanagh’s sentencing is expected to be broadcast from the court.
Sara suffered more than 25 broken bones, iron burns on her bottom, scalding marks to her feet and human bites during a campaign of abuse spanning at least two years.
Sharif had hit her with a cricket bat and iron bar, throttled her and thrown a mobile phone at her head.
