Father and stepmother guilty of murdering Sara Sharif, 10, who was burned and beaten in two years of horrific abuse.
Urfan Sharif, 43 and Beinash Batool, 30, have been found guilty of the murder of 10-year-old Sara.
Her uncle Faisal Malik was found not guilty of murder but guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Sara died on 8 August 2023 at her home in Woking, Surrey. She was found with dozens of injuries.
The Old Bailey heard how Sara had been hooded, burned and beaten during more than two years of abuse.
The judge adjourned sentencing until next Tuesday, telling jurors the case had been "extremely stressful and traumatic".
Sara was beaten to death four years after taxi driver Sharif was awarded custody, despite accusations of abuse against him, jurors heard.
Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC said Sharif had gone on to create a "culture of violent discipline", where assaults on Sara had "become completely routine, completely normalised".
He alleged Sharif had meant to cause her serious harm and the other two defendants took part in the abuse, encouraged or helped him.
