‘I hope they die in jail!’ Sara Sharif’s heartbroken mum fumes with ex who killed her daughter: ‘It is not human to do this to your own child’
The heartbroken mother of murdered 10-year-old Sara Sharif has condemned her ex-husband and his accomplices, declaring “it is not human to do this to your own child” after they were found guilty at the Old Bailey.
Olga Domin, 38, hoped her daughter’s killers to “die in jail” following the conviction of Urfan Sharif, his partner Beinash Batool, and uncle Faisal Malik.
Domin said: “I still can’t believe what is going on, this situation. I can’t believe he was hitting her belly when she was dying.”
Sharif and Batool were found guilty of murder, while Malik was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.
“Monster is too nice word for him anyway,” she said.
“I hope he will be dying in jail,” she told The Sun.
The trio are due to be sentenced on Tuesday, after Sharif’s body was discovered by police in her bunk bed on August 10 last year, bearing horrific injuries from sustained abuse.
A post-mortem examination revealed 25 fractures, 71 external injuries, six human bite marks, and burns from a domestic iron.

Taxi driver Sharif, 43, subjected his daughter to brutal violence, throttling her and beating her with a cricket bat and metal pole, even binding her hands and legs with parcel tape at times.
Sara was forced to wear makeshift hoods during attacks, and Sharif encouraged another child to hit her “like a punchbag” as if it were a game.
His partner Batool, 30, would often call Sharif back from work when his daughter was “being naughty,” knowing he would beat her.
The child had started wearing a hijab to school to hide injuries to her face and head.
Domin revealed the horrific abuse she herself suffered at Sharif’s hands before Sara’s death, saying: “He choked me with a belt, he tried to set me on fire, he beat me with his fists.”
“He was putting the oil on my body. His friend stopped him. He already had the lighter in his hand.”
The Polish national fled to a domestic refuge with Sara in 2015 to escape Sharif’s violence.
She described how he controlled her finances, taking £4,000 from her benefits and restricting her movements, adding: “I was alone in a foreign country, without a language, without a family.”
Following a family court hearing in 2019, Sara was ordered to live with her father – a ruling which Domin did not contest at the time.
Sharif and Batool later blocked Domin’s supervised contact with Sara years before her death.
In a moving tribute to her daughter, Domin remembered Sara as an “angelic” child, saying: “She was always laughing, smiling.”
“She loved all the kids. She was always helping, and making videos. She was an amazing child.”
