To the posters asking why he had custody of her and not her mother, it is covered here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98e6zle170o
The jury heard that in 2019 Sara was living with her mother Olga Sharif, but then made allegations of neglect and violence against her.
She said her mother was smoking cannabis, not feeding her, leaving her alone with another child and burning her with a lighter.
Mr Sharif recorded the allegations in a video.
This led to a court order that Sara should live with her father and his new wife, Ms Batool.
My opinion is that he might have forced Sara to say those things about her mother to get custody of her? She was probably being burned by a lighter by him - considering what he went on to do.
