MUM'S AGONY
I would give my daughter’s killers lethal injection myself if I could – no sentence will ever be enough for my Sara
Schoolgirl was tortured for two years by evil pair
SARA Sharif's mum said she would give her daughter's killer dad a lethal injection herself if she could following her murder.

But the mum said even "one hundreds years" in jail wouldn't be enough for the "monsters" who tortured her daughter to death.
Speaking of her ex-husband, Olga added: "If anything has come from Sara's death is he is off the street and it will be a safer place for women without him.
“If I could push that syringe for a lethal injection I would do it with a smile on my face."
Sara was sent to live with Sharif in 2019 following a custody battle - despite abuse allegations being made against him.

Olga said he manipulated police and social services for years and attempted to shift the blame on others - including on herself.
She added: ";It took the death of my baby girl for people to realise he is evil.”
The mum, who has shared heartbreaking new photos of her daughter, continued: "So many women tried but our voices were never heard because he manipulated everyone.
“He always saw women as beneath him even though he is a pathetic little man the lengths he was willing to go to for control there was no boundaries.

Olga also lashed out at Batool after she joined in the two-year abuse campaign against Sara.
She said: "A mother and a woman joined in his sick world and helped brutally terrorise my little girl.
“If my love could have saved my daughter she would have lived forever.
“I never had her because he laughed in the face of the system and won another one of his games.
“He never wanted my children through love it was to destroy me and he won. Now it's time for him to suffer.”

Sara’s nightmare began in 2019 when Sharif was handed custody of the schoolgirl – despite abuse allegations being made against him.
Up until that point, she had been living with her mum Olga and was under a child protection plan.
Sara “suffered dreadfully ” in a savage abuse campaign at the hands of her father while at home in Woking, Surrey.
She was bound and had her head covered with a hood as agonising punishments were dished out by Sharif.
Sara was also burned with an iron and bitten during the two-year abuse campaign.
The schoolgirl was made to wear a hijab to conceal her injuries, which neighbours found “unusual” as she was the only family member to wear one.

The abuse became so “normalised” that student Malik failed to act after moving in with the family in December 2022.
While Stepmum Batool described Sharif as a “psycho” who “beat the crap out of Sara” – yet stood back and did nothing to stop the torture.
Describing one incident, she wrote: “Why the hell am I ever letting him in the house. I feel really sorry for Sara, poor girl can’t walk, she literally fainted in the kitchen in the morning, he made her do sit ups all night.
“It’s been so crazy man, you don’t even understand.”
Between June 6, 2022, and March 10, 2023, the court heard teachers noted Sara had bruising under her eye on two separate occasions.
The school notified the authorities and a social services referral was made – but officials decided not to intervene just six days later.
On April 17, 2023, Sharif removed Sara from school confirming his daughter would be homeschooled with immediate effect.
The decision proved fatal for defenceless Sara as Sharif was free to ramp up his sadistic abuse away from preying eyes.
This violence reached a fatal head on August 8 when Sara was battered to death with a cricket bat.
Even as she lay dying in Batool’s lap, Sharif had whacked her in the stomach twice for “pretending”.
Sara was then taken into the garden, stripped of her dirty leggings and nappy and cleaned with a jetwash.
The following day, Sharif, Batool and Malik fled to Pakistan – leaving the youngster dead in a bunk-bed.
Sharif then called police to say he had beaten Sara “too much” as a punishment for being naughty.
When police arrived, the found a chilling note by the schoolgirl that read: “I swear to God that my intention was not to kill her. But I lost it.”
15 missed opportunities to save tragic Sara
By Ed Southgate
JANUARY 2013: Sara was made subject to a child protection plan at birth because of Urfan Sharif being accused of attacking three women including her mother, as well as hitting and biting two children.
But she was allowed to remain with her father.
FEBRUARY 22, 2013: A month after Sara was born, social services and police were told that Sharif had slapped a child around the face.
Nothing was done.
MAY 7, 2013: A social worker spotted a burn mark on a child’s leg.
Sharif failed to report the incident and claimed it was a barbecue accident. Nothing was done.
OCTOBER 7, 2013: A child was seen with a burn mark made by a domestic iron.
Sharif told social services the child had bumped into the appliance.
No action was taken.
2013 TO 2014: A child told a social worker that Sharif smashed up a TV and punched Sara’s mother Olga.
NOVEMBER 2014: Sara was taken into foster care after a child told a social worker about a bite mark.
But she later returned to live with her father following a family court hearing in October 2019 where social services recommended Sara lived with her father because that was her preference.
JANUARY 2015: Sharif was reported to social services for waving a knife around at home in what he said was a zombie game.
Social workers noted that Sharif hit and kicked Olga at home and the pair threatened to kill each other.
FEBRUARY 2015: A child told their foster carer that Sharif used to hit them on the bottom with a belt.
In September that year the child was heard to say to Sharif: “When you’re at home you hit and kick me every day.”
2015: Olga told social services about Sharif tightening a belt around her neck.
Around this time social workers complained Sharif was coercive and derogatory towards them.
A male social worker was then appointed to the family.
DECEMBER 2016: A child told a social worker they did not like Sharif because he punched them all over their body and gave them lots of bruises.
Social workers saw Sara flinch when Sharif told her off during supervised contact and seem surprised when he cuddled her.
JUNE 6, 2022: A teacher reported that Sara had a bruise under her eye, using the school’s online child protection monitoring system.
Sara initially would not say what happened, before later saying another child hit her.
But no referral was made to social services.
MARCH 10, 2023: A teacher saw bruises on Sara’s face.
Sara said she had fallen on roller skates.
When she gave a different story to a safeguarding lead, the school made a referral to social services.
Six days later social services decided to take no further action.
It is understood there had been no contact between social services and Sara’s family for four years at this point.
Social services categorised the case as the second highest priority and asked other agencies for information.
When nothing came back, the case was closed.
MARCH 20, 2023: A report was logged on the school’s internal system after Sara’s stepmother Beinash Batool was overheard referring to children as “motherf***er, sister f***er, b**** and whore” in the playground.
But no details were passed to social services.
MARCH 28, 2023: Batool claimed a mark on Sara’s face was caused by a pen.
The teacher told the school safeguarding lead.
APRIL 17, 2023: Sharif decided to home-school Sara.
School staff rang the council for advice and were told they should make a referral if there were concerns.
Staff saw Sara later that day at school pick-up and she seemed fine so they decided against it, even though she had been beaten earlier that day.
Officers also discovered a cricket bat stained with Sarah’s blood, a rolling pin with her DNA and black rope with her hair attached to it.
During his evidence, Sharif dramatically told jurors: “I accept every single thing”.
He admitted causing fractures – including to her neck bone – by hitting Sara with a cricket bat.
But the dad claimed he did not mean to “harm” Sara when he bound and beat her with the weapon.

He also denied that he had bitten the youngster and burned her with scalding water.
When asked if he had intended to kill his daughter, Sharif replied: “Yes, she died because of me.”
