In a dramatic court hearing, Urfan Sharif accepted responsibility for the death of his 10-year-old daughter, Sara, while denying any intent to kill her. Testifying at the Old Bailey, Sharif detailed a history of abuse, admitting to beating Sara with various implements. He acknowledged that she died from injuries resulting from this abuse but claimed his actions were meant as discipline. Alongside his wife and brother, he faces murder charges after Sara was found with severe injuries in their Woking home last year.
