Sara Sharif’s killer father reportedly had his throat slashed by a notorious double murderer. Steven Sansom – who killed Sarah Mayhew, 38, last year and dismembered her body using power tools – allegedly attacked Urfan Sharif on New Year’s Day with the lid of a tuna tin.
The 46-year-old, who also murdered a taxi driver at the age of 19, is said to have cornered Sharif in his cell with the assistance of another inmate, sources said.
It is claimed that the prisoners were repulsed by the horrific murder of his 10-year-old daughter Sara at the family home in Woking, Surrey, last year.
The schoolgirl was reportedly hooded, bitten, burned, and ultimately beaten to death. Her body was discovered bearing at least 71 injuries after the family fled to Pakistan.
Sharif, who was left in a critical condition following the attack on 1 January, received treatment in the healthcare unit of the south London prison.
