The father of Sara Sharif, who has been found guilty of the 10-year-old’s murder, exploited EU rules to stay in the UK, The Telegraph can reveal.

Urfan Sharif, 42, and Beinash Batool, 30 were convicted of killing the schoolgirl after an eight-week trial at the Old Bailey.

During the trial, it was revealed that Sharif, a “serial abuser of vulnerable women”, arranged a “sham marriage” to a Polish woman to remain in Britain. The 42 year-old’s history of violence against vulnerable women and children was also laid bare. It emerged that at least three separate women had accused him of assault. He was also accused of being a gambling addict with a taste for whisky.

Jurors were brought to tears on several occasions as they heard details of Sara’s suffering. Sharif’s own barrister told the court his client was a “scumbag” who “would be in the circles of hell for eternity”.

@HebrideanHecate It's not surprising.
