THE mum of tragic Sara Sharif branded her daughter's killers "executioners" as they were given life sentences for murder.
Sara's father Urfan Sharif, 42, was given a minimum jail term of 40 years and her stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, was told she must serve 33 years at yesterday's Old Bailey sentencing.
They stood, heads bowed, in the dock with Sara's uncle Faisal Malik, 29, who was jailed for 16 years for allowing the death of the 10-year-old.
Sara's mother Olga Domin, who attended court by video link, said her daughter was "always smiling" and was her "own unique character".
Addressing her killers, she called them "cowards". She said: "You are sadists, although even this word is not enough for you. I would say you are executioners." Sara was found dead at her home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10 last year after Sharif rang police from Pakistan confessing that he had beaten his daughter "too much".
