Sara Sharif's father and stepmother will not have murder sentences reduced, appeal judges rule

  • Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool lost their Court of Appeal bids to reduce their life sentences for their daughter Sara Sharif's murder, receiving minimum terms of 40 years and 33 years, respectively, as confirmed by the judges.
  • Sara’s uncle, Faisal Malik, also lost his appeal against a 16-year sentence for causing or allowing her death.
  • The appeal judges upheld the trial judge's assessment, stating, "We are not persuaded that anything less than a whole life order was unduly lenient," indicating the severity of the case.
  • The Solicitor General argued that Sara's murder warranted a whole life order, calling it a "truly awful case of a murder of a child," which the court accepted.
