"The child killers always stick together"
Sara Sharif’s killer stepmother has reportedly become friends with Lucy Letby in prison.
Beinash Batool was placed on remand at the same secure wing where serial baby killer Letby is locked up.
Batool and her husband Urfan Sharif were found guilty of murdering his 10-year-old daughter Sara after a campaign of abuse.
She is now an inmate at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where a twisted friendship has reportedly formed between her and Letby.
A source told the Mirror: “They hang out on the landing together most days, playing cards and chatting.
“The child killers always stick together because they want to protect themselves.
“So it doesn’t surprise me in the least that they get along so well.”
As well as Letby, Batool is friends with murderer Michelle Smith, who poisoned six-month-old daughter Amy with adult painkillers in Swansea in 2007.
Sharon Carr – who became Britain’s youngest female murderer aged 12 when she knifed 18-year-old Katie Rackliff 30 times in a random attack in Camberley, Surrey, in 1992 – is also a pal.
Reportedly, the four women have cushy lifestyles at the prison.
The source added: “Beinash is also friends with Michelle and Sharon. They all live in house block four which is a really nice wing.
“They have privileges like their own room with an en suite shower, bigger beds and access to a private courtyard.
“It’s like you’re wrapped in cotton wool so there’s no risk of being attacked or anything like that.”
Batool and Urfan Sharif will be sentenced on December 17 after a 10-week trial at the Old Bailey.
The court heard how the pair inflicted “unspeakable violence” on Sara – even burning her with an iron.
Sara suffered 100 internal and external injuries, including a brain injury, broken bones and human bite marks.
Her body was found at home in Woking on August 10, 2023, after Sharif called the police from Pakistan, where he fled with Batool and his brother Faisal Malik.
Malik was found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Questions have been raised over failures to protect Sara Sharif, with an inexperienced social worker not identifying Sara’s father as a risk despite noting safeguarding concerns.
Letby is serving 15 whole-life terms after being convicted of murdering seven babies.
She also attempted to kill seven more at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016.
