LONDON — The father and stepmother of a severely abused 10-year-old girl found dead in her home in England were sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for murder.
Police in London then went to the family's home and discovered Sara’s body under a blanket in a bunk bed on Aug. 10, 2023. Politicians and other officials have called for a review of what went wrong and urged reforms to prevent a repeat of such cases.
