Review underway for sentences in case of 10-year-old Sara's murder by father after abuse.

The Solicitor General is reviewing the 40-year minimum sentence given to Urfan Sharif, who was convicted of murdering his 10-year-old daughter, Sara, after years of abuse. Sharif's wife, Beinash Batool, received a 33-year minimum sentence, while Sara's uncle, Faisal Malik, was jailed for 16 years. The case has sparked calls for a review of the sentences' adequacy in reflecting the severity of the crime.
