Chilling WhatsApp messages reveal Sara Sharif was 'forced to stay up all night doing sit ups' as murder trial is shown inside of house where she was found dead

 

            

Urfan Sharif, 42, the father of the 10-year-old, his wife Beinash Batool, 30, and brother, Faisal Malik, 29, all deny murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. Sara had at least 71 external injuries inflicted on her and was bitten and tortured with a hot iron in the days before she died in Hammond Road, Woking. Batool claims Urfan was abusing both her and Sara, while he claims Batool was responsible for the killing. Jurors were yesterday shown WhatsApp messages recovered from Batool's sister's phone and in some, Batool told her sister not to call her because Urfan was at home. In one message on February 12, 2022 Batool messaged her sister saying that Urfan had arrived home and her sister replied 'it's okay. Just ignore. In one ear out the other.' Batool then told her: 'He's beating Sara up.'
