A new Mail podcast series investigates the brutal murder of 10-year-old Sara Sharif by her father Urfan and stepmother Bainash Batool in 2023.
The first episode of 'On The Case: The Murder of Sara Sharif' examines how Urfan, a Pakistani national, left a trail of abused women in his wake while seeking an EU national to marry - in order to remain in the UK.
Hosted by investigative journalist Andy Jehring - who reported on the case from the discovery of Sara's body to Urfan's sentencing to life imprisonment in December 2024 - the episode features an exclusive interview with the killer's first girlfriend in the UK.
Polish national 'Angelika', who was only 17 when she met 26-year-old Urfan working at Burger King, describes a deeply insecure man whose desire to abuse those closest to him often trumped his mission to secure UK residency.
