Sara Sharif

Makes zero sense to 'willingly' come back after willingly fleeing in the first place. I hope whatever it cost to get them here wasn't as extortionate as everything else government does.

Mr Sharif and Ms Batool released a video statement last week in which Ms Batool said they had gone into hiding in Pakistan over fears police in the country would "torture or kill" them.

Whether that's true or not, that's the reason the trio gave. So if it is true, then they're handing themselves to the UK police as serving a prison sentence here as opposed to being tortured overseas will be the lesser of the 2 evils.
 
Just curious, but is it normal for the Pakistan government and/or police to help the UK in arresting these people as much as they have? It seems the Pakistan authorities have gone to great lengths to catch them even though the UK doesn't have an extradition treaty with Pakistan.

Would you want to be known as the country that hid child killers?

They returned voluntarily it wasn't an extradition I imagine they're tired of hiding/on the run they're going to try and bluff it out and make out she fell down the stairs presumably but the medical report will say otherwise I'm guessing

We're a major economic partner of theirs and have a large Pakistani diaspora.

This. I expect that they got spoken too. Extradition treaty or not they could be expected to receive a fair trial in this country or spend the rest of their lives in backwater Pakistan. Their flight from our courts will not look very good either when it comes to trial.

More details out on this one indicating she suffered over a long period. Broken bones. Brain haemorrhage. A lot of bruising.
Poor kid.

Jesus Christ. Not unexpected but still horrible to hear. When I hear of stories like this I go and give my own kids a little hug (and they are 17 and 19 now!)

Poor girl :( :mad:

Urfan Sharif and Batool found guilty of Sara's murder. Sara's uncle Faisal Malik, 29, was found not guilty of murder but guilty of causing or allowing Sara's death. All of them pleaded not guilty to her murder and an alternative count of causing or allowing the death of a child.

Judge, Mr Justice Cavanagh, said he will sentence them on Tuesday next week.

Just read that article on the BBC. Crazy how the police and social services were involved to that extent, and yet it still ended this way...

The list of things they did to this poor girl is just heartbreaking. I hope they suffer in prison.

Absolutely delighted with the verdicts and they thoroughly deserve it.

I'm not; Judge Nelly sentences Urfan Sharif to be publicly flogged, then the following week - hung, drawn and quartered. Beinash Batool to be flogged publicly then the following week - crushed to death, by gradually increasing weights while laid flat with a sheet metal on top. Faisal Malik to be sentenced to flogged in public, and life imprisonment with no parole.
 
Whole life terms are appropriate here.

Not only did they murder the girl in cold blood, they tortured her, then fled - cooked up some BS story, blamed each other - then dragged everyone through a full-blown trial, when they were always going to be found guilty.

No remorse, no compromise, no half-measures.

Theres something especially evil about parents that murder their own children. Breaks my heart to think how much abuse, fear and pain they must have suffered at the hands of the people who were supposed to love and protect them. People who could have given them up for adoption if they didn't want them. When you see happy pictures of them it just reminds you how innocent children are and how they can still find happiness despite their horrible lives.

I think there is little that is too horrible to do to people like this.
