Police in Pakistan are seeking to arrest the father of a 10-year-old girl thought to have been murdered.
Sara Sharif’s body was found at a property in Horsell, near Woking in Surrey, on August 10.
Police are searching for her dad Urfan Sharif, 41, partner Beinash Batool, 29, and his brother Faisal Malik, 28.
Officer Imran Ahmed said police found evidence that he had briefly returned to Jhelum, before leaving and disappearing, AP reported.
Surrey Police also revealed Mr Sharif called 999 from Islamabad.
An initial postmortem did not establish a cause of death but police said: “Sara had suffered multiple and extensive injuries, likely to have been caused over an extended period.
Detective Mark Chapman, from Surrey Police and Sussex Police Major Crime Team, said: “While the post-mortem has not provided us with an established cause of death at this time, the fact that we now know that Sara had suffered multiple and extensive injuries over a sustained and extended period has significantly changed the nature of our investigation, and we have widened the timescale of the focus of our inquiry.”
Beautiful little girl...what happened to her in the months/years before she died?
I hope the father, girlfriend and uncle are found and brought to justice.

I hope this case isn't one that flitters out. It's obvious the father is responsible for this poor kids suffering, but why was the mother pushed out of her life? She says she was only allowed to see her twice in the last four years....what sort of mother would not fight for her daughter? I know 100% I would not leave a small girl in the hands of a Muslim father.
"Her mum Olga Sharif said Sara's behaviour then began to change after Urfan’s influence over her life increased.
She added: “I couldn’t see my daughter for four years, and now she is dead. She’s only a kid. She had done nothing wrong.”
Police were called to the property last week following a call raising concerns for Sara's welfare.
Three people officers want to speak to left the country just hours before the youngster's body was found.
All three are known to Sara and no one was present in the home when the tragic discovery was made.
Olga said she wed cabbie Urfan at a Surrey register office in November 2009, before the marriage ended in 2017.
Aside from occasional phone conversations, Olga said she was only allowed to see her children twice in four years.
She continued to be sent frequent photos of her children until 2021, when she said an argument between her and Urfan’s new partner, Beenish, meant she was cut off completely.
Olga said: "My life will never be the same again. Sara should be with me right now. She was too young."
The latest on this little girls death, it's good it's not being swept under the carpet, as so many of these Muslim related stories seem to be.
"Surrey police are treating Sara Sharif’s death, which has sparked an international manhunt, as a possible murder. Her uncle has claimed she died as the result of falling down the stairs.
It followed after Mr Sharif and his partner Ms Batool released a video, their first public statement on the case, in which they said they were willing to cooperate with UK authorities.
Sara’s mother and Mr Sharif’s former partner, Olga Sharif, responded to the clip by saying Sara’s father is ‘making himself into the victim’ and suggesting he turn himself in."
"Sara Sharif's runaway father, stepmother and uncle have been arrested on suspicion of murder after having landed at Gatwick Airport tonight.
Urfan Sharif, 41, his partner Beinash Batool, 29, and brother Faisal Malik, 28, were arrested after disembarking a flight from Dubai and are currently in custody, Surrey Police said. They will be interviewed in due course.
Sharif and Batool went into hiding in Pakistan for a month after Sara's body was found in her home and an international manhunt was launched there and in the UK.
A post-mortem examination found the youngster had suffered 'multiple and extensive injuries' over a 'sustained and extended' period of time. "
An autopsy of the girl did not establish a cause of death but showed that she had suffered 'multiple and extensive injuries, which are likely to have been caused over a sustained and extended period of time'
The father, his partner and brother have now been charged with murder....good.
I bet they were told, be charged in Pakistan or come back. Hope they get life. Look how that young girl.is dressed and made up, guesses anyone? Stinks eh?

It does stink, and I am so glad the authorities didn't just turn the other way, because we all know that so often has happened in the past when it comes to Muslims.
The excuse they gave, that they were advised to leave the country because being Muslim they would be treated more harshly...is sickening.
They left that beautiful little girl dead, alone, and she had suffered injury and abuse for months leading up to her death, The poor child must have been living a life of pain and misery for a long time.
This is one of those news items that has really got to me. It's so sad.

When Sara was found, her hands were tied in front of her.
Was there sexual shit going down here? That poor kid.
Who knows, no doubt it'll all come out eventually.
The abuse she suffered had gone on for a long time. Where oh where were teachers, neighbours, friends? Why are these perverts left in charge of children? Why was her mother banished from seeing the girl? and why didn't her mum fight harder to have control...so many questions.
It seems this little girl was left like a lamb to the slaughter in the 'care' of fucking animals.

The unsavoury truth is that many muslim families are male dominated and abuse gets hidden by all members of the family and community. As a girl, she'd have no rights in the eyes of this patriarchal family unit. Even less her mother who isn't muslim. Like you said in the other thread people tolerate abuse for many reasons. And that's clearly what's gone on here. It takes real balls to call this kind of thing out. It's easier to turn away and not create waves.
It utterly sickens me that people will look the other way. I know Muslims will often isolate themselves from none Muslims, I see it round here all the time, but those kids go to school. Why were bruises or signs of sexual abuse, if that was happening, not noticed and dealt with?
I reported a case of child abuse years ago, no one in the street where they lived would. I heard second hand what was happening, and I also saw how the child acted....I went round and confronted the parents one day when I was told they had locked the kid in the garage...I was told to piss off.
I went up to school, where this lad attended, was told he was already on the child at risk register, and the head would investigate.
Next thing the family just disappeared, the head even came round to our house to see if I had any more info about them,...it was a shambles.

We live in a world where you can be arrested in handcuffs for posting an opinion on Twitter but go on a shop lifting spree and not even get a second glance from the law.

If it wasn't so dangerous, it would be a joke.
Speaking of shoplifting, we were having a coffee in Sainsbury's recently, a man walked from the store, through into the cafe and out the cafe door, he was laden down with piles of clothes.
The two security guards, who are stationed near the main doors, did sod all. When I was leaving, I said to them, a man just walked out of the store with probably hundreds of ££ of clothes...right under your noses.
