Sara's mum: If I could push syringe for a lethal injection I would do it with a smile on my face
Daily Express|December 18, 2024
MONSTER Urfan Sharif is set to die behind bars after being jailed for a minimum of 40 years for the horrific "execution" of his defenceless 10-year-old daughter Sara.

The sentence means he will be at least 82 before being considered for parole, while his wife and accomplice Beinash Batool, 30, must serve at least 33 years.

Last night, Sara's mother said a 100-year sentence would not have been enough to secure justice and pleaded to be allowed to give the evil pair a lethal injection herself.

Olga Domin said: "If I could push that syringe for a lethal injection I would do it with a smile on my face." Her daughter was sent to live with her "executioners" by a family court judge in 2019 following a custody battle despite repeated abuse allegations being made against Sharif, 42.

But Ms Domin claimed he manipulated police and social services to shift the blame on to others including herself.

She added: "It took the death of my baby girl for people to realise he is evil. So many women tried but our voices were never heard." Ms Domin also blasted Batool after she joined in a two-year abuse campaign against Sara, which included biting the child and helping her husband pin her down and scald her buttocks with a red-hot iron.

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." The couple were yesterday sentenced at the Old Bailey after last week being convicted of murder by a jury following a harrowing twomonth trial that exposed the life of torture and abuse Sara suffered before succumbing to their attacks last year.
