Summary of the Metro Newspaper
Metro front page this morning – summarised
The Metro front page this morning reports on the conviction of the father and stepmother who killed 10-year-old Sara Sharif.
Sara Sharif’s mum has paid tribute to her ‘beautiful’ daughter after the schoolgirl was murdered by her father and stepmother during a horrific ‘campaign of abuse’.
The 10-year-old suffered more than 70 injuries shortly before her broken body was found at home in Woking, Surrey, following a call from her dad Urfan Sharif, 42, in Pakistan saying he had ‘beat her up too much’ for being ‘naughty’.
Jurors at the Old Bailey heard how she was ‘serially and severely’ beaten with a cricket bat and metal pole – right up until her dying moments. She had also been burned with an iron, scalded with boiling water and bitten.
