Sara Sharif: Father claimed death was accident, says grandad in Pakistan – BBC News

The father of Sara Sharif claimed his daughter’s death was an accident, the 10-year-old’s grandfather has said.

In an interview with the BBC, Muhammad Sharif – the father of Urfan Sharif, Sara’s dad – said he saw his son after he arrived in Pakistan.

"It was an accident, he didn’t tell me how it happened," said Muhammad, and that Urfan had left the UK out of fear.

Post-mortem tests have found Sara sustained "multiple and extensive injuries".

Pakistan police have been hunting for Urfan, his partner and his brother for weeks but have failed to find them.

UK police want to speak to the three family members in relation to their murder investigation – but the trio left the UK for Pakistan on 9 August, the day before Sara’s body was found in Woking, Surrey.
