The horrific murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif shocked the world, sparking outrage against her father, Urfan Sharif, who later confessed to the brutal killing of his young daughter.
However, the tragic story did not end with the horrifying abuse that led to Sara’s death. The disturbing details continue, as justice took an unexpected turn behind bars.
Once imprisoned, news of Urfan’s crimes quickly spread among fellow inmates. The convicted child killer soon found himself the target of vigilante justice at the hands of other prisoners.
On August 8, 2023, the world was devastated by the heartbreaking news of Sara Sharif’s death. The young girl had endured a two-year-long “campaign of torture” before her body was discovered at the family home in Woking, Surrey. According to BBC reports, she had been hooded, burned, and beaten.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found Sara’s lifeless body on a bunk bed alongside a handwritten confession from her father, which read: “Whoever sees this note, it’s me, Urfan Sharif, who killed my daughter by beating. I am running away because I am scared.” He further claimed, “I swear to God that my intention was not to kill her. But I lost it.”
Shockingly, the day before Sara’s body was discovered, Urfan, along with two other family members, fled to Pakistan.
Following a weeks-long international manhunt, Urfan Sharif, 42, his brother Faisal Malik, 29, and his wife, Beinash Batool, 30, were arrested and charged in connection with Sara’s tragic death.
‘She Died Because of Me’
During court proceedings, it was revealed that Sara had suffered over 70 injuries, including fractures to her ribs, shoulder blades, and spine, a puncture wound to the head, traumatic brain injury, burns from a domestic iron, and human bite marks.
Initially, all three suspects denied involvement. However, in court, Urfan Sharif changed his stance and admitted, “She died because of me.”
On December 17, 2024, Sharif was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 40 years. Batool received a life sentence with a minimum of 33 years. Malik was sentenced to 16 years for causing or allowing the death of a child. During sentencing, Mr. Justice Cavanagh condemned their actions as “a campaign of torture” marked by “almost inconceivable cruelty.”
Sara’s mother, Olga Domin, described the perpetrators as “sadists” and “executioners” in a statement read in court. Addressing her daughter, she said, “She is now an angel who looks down on us from heaven. She is no longer experiencing violence.”
Prison Justice
Once inside South London’s HMP Belmarsh—dubbed “Britain’s Guantanamo Bay”—Sharif quickly became a marked man. In prison, crimes against children are considered the lowest offense, and Urfan’s reputation made him a target.
According to sources, Sharif attempted to keep a low profile, but his past soon caught up with him. On New Year’s Day, just weeks into his life sentence, he was ambushed by two inmates wielding a makeshift weapon— a jagged tuna can lid.
“Urfan was badly sliced up in his cell,” an insider revealed. “The attack was planned, and he suffered serious wounds to his neck and face. He was lucky to survive, required stitches, and will have permanent scars as a reminder of the attack.”
Prison guards had been trying to protect him, knowing he had a target on his back due to the high-profile nature of his case. “An attack was only a matter of time,” the source added. “Many inmates feel justice was served.”
One of Urfan’s suspected attackers is reportedly Steve Sansom, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence for killing and dismembering 38-year-old Sarah Mayhew in 2024. Sansom was previously convicted in 1999 for the murder of cab driver Terrence Boyle, 59.

Paul Walker’s daughter has matured and is paying tribute to her father’s legacy in a meaningful way
It’s hard to fathom that eleven years have passed since Paul Walker’s untimely death. The beloved actor, best known for his role in the Fast and Furious series, tragically lost his life in a car accident in November 2013 when his Porsche Carrera GT collided with a pole and burst into flames.
Walker’s passing devastated fans worldwide and left a profound sense of grief for his family, including his fiancée, Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, and his daughter, Meadow Rain Walker, whom he shared with Rebecca McBrain.
At the time of her father’s death, Meadow was just 15, an incredibly tough age to endure such a loss. While there’s never an ideal time to lose a parent, navigating that grief during the tumultuous teenage years must have been an especially heavy burden to carry. Despite the challenges, Meadow has shown remarkable resilience in the face of her father’s passing. Now 25, she is undoubtedly making her father proud.
From a young age, it was clear that Paul Walker was destined for a career in entertainment. Born in 1973, he began acting as a child in the ’70s and ’80s before gaining recognition for his role on the soap opera The Young and the Restless. His career continued to flourish with performances in films like the 2001 thriller Joy Ride, but it was his iconic role as Brian O’Connor in the first Fast and Furious movie that truly catapulted him to fame.
Walker reprised this role several times as the franchise exploded in popularity, solidifying his status as a leading action star. His unexpected death at the age of 40 shocked fans and colleagues alike, with heartfelt tributes pouring in from co-stars like Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson. Meanwhile, Jasmine and Meadow had to grapple with the sudden loss of a partner and father.
While we can only imagine the pain felt by Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell and Meadow Rain Walker, it’s clear that Meadow has worked hard to honor her father’s memory.
In the years following his death, Meadow matured significantly. She completed high school and immediately dedicated herself to various projects, including the launch of the Paul Walker Foundation, using part of her inheritance to establish it.
The foundation aims to safeguard our oceans, wildlife, and ultimately ourselves. Its website describes it as “an enduring light of Paul’s unique spirit, far-reaching goals, and spontaneous goodwill”.
Reports indicate that Meadow, who is also pursuing her studies, continues to manage the foundation with the support of her godfather and Paul’s longtime friend, Vin Diesel. It truly warms my heart to see Meadow carrying forward her father’s legacy of kindness and compassion. I can only imagine how proud he would be of her efforts.
Does anyone else miss Paul Walker? The Fast and Furious films just don’t feel the same without him! Rest in peace, Paul, 1973-2013. Thank you for all the cherished memories.
