KILLER nurse Lucy Letby and the stepmother of murdered Sara Sharif have bonded in prison over family card game Uno.
Letby and Beinash Batool — who is serving 33 years over ten-year-old Sara’s death — spend hours playing the game in their cushy jail unit.

The child killers — both inmates with “enhanced” privileges at HMP Bronzefield, Surrey — also spend time in each other’s cells and in the kitchen together.
But their love of the Uno game, which sees players try to match cards and yell “Uno” when they have just one left, has sparked fury among staff and lags.
Our source said: “It’s a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it.
“People are angry, but staff have to do what they can to keep prisoners happy.
“Letby and Batool started sticking together and have now become quite friendly.
“They are both enhanced prisoners, so they get a lot of freedom and can buy decent food. And they are often in the kitchen, chatting and making cheese toasties.
“The difference between them is that Batool does not discuss her crime, while Letby tells anyone who will listen that she is innocent.
“They both have jobs, with Letby doing cleaning and Batool helping in the library.
“They are also monitored closely by staff as they are at risk of attack. But their lives will stay quite comfortable as long as they behave.”
Letby, 35, and Batool, 31, are held on Unit 4 of 527-inmate Bronzefield, which is run by private firm Sodexo.
They both have TVs with Freeview channels and a DVD player, along with books and films, which they can order from the library.
Others on the unit include Sian Hedges, jailed for life in 2024 for killing 18-month-old son Alfie Phillips.
Shamed prison officer Linda de Sousa Abreu, who romped with a lag, was also held there until her release last month.
Letby — convicted of the murders of seven babies and attempted murders of seven more while a neonatal nurse — has regular legal meetings as she plans her appeal.
Batool was sentenced last December for the murder of her tortured stepdaughter.
Sara’s dad, Urfan Sharif, is serving at least 40 years for murder after she was beaten to death at the couple’s home in Woking, Surrey.
A pre-inquest review into Sara’s death will be held today.
The girl’s mother, Olga Domin, has called for “vital answers” about how authorities missed a dozen chances to save her.
A spokesman for Sodexo said they would not comment on individuals.
