‘Didn’t want to hurt her’: After blaming stepmom, British-Pakistani father admits to beating daughter to death

Urfan Sharif, the father of 10-year-old girl, admitted to causing her death in a London court. While he accepted responsibility for inflicting injuries, including fractures from beatings, he denied intending to kill her. Sharif, his wife, and brother had fled to Pakistan before the girl’s body was discovered, only to return and be arrested weeks later.
