Convicted child killer Urfan Sharif, 43, was brutally attacked in his cell at HMP Belmarsh on New Year’s Day, just weeks into serving a life sentence for the murder of his 10-year-old daughter, Sara Sharif.
According to The Sun reports, two inmates ambushed Sharif, using a jagged tuna tin lid to slash his throat. Prison sources revealed he was left in a “very bad way” and remains in the prison hospital.
Sharif is serving a minimum of 40 years behind bars for the horrific abuse and murder of his daughter, who endured “unimaginable pain, misery, and anxiety” from sustained beatings, burns, bites, and restraints at the family home in Woking, Surrey.
The attack highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of high-profile offenders in prison environments.
