UK - Sara Sharif, 10, found murdered in house, Surrey, Aug 2023 *POIs sought*

[iamshadow21]

But a little girl was wearing black hijab as a school uniform.

Why not white?
Or girlishly flowery?

JMO

As far as I know, the kids don't tend to get to choose in schools with a uniform. The school will have a uniform colour or colours hijab should be, and they tend to be pretty boring - black, white, or the main solid colour of the uniform (navy, dark green, etc). At least, that's how it is in public (government) schools here in Australia.

Sara Sharif was bubbly and confident, says school

The body of Sara Sharif, aged 10, was found at her home in Woking, prompting a murder inquiry.

Jacquie Chambers, head of St Mary's C of E primary school in Byfleet, said Sara would be "dearly-missed".
Three people who travelled to Pakistan before her body was found are believed to have gone to Islamabad and are wanted for questioning.
Ms Chambers said: "She was a bubbly, confident little girl who had the most beautiful smile. She was full of ideas and was very passionate about the things she believed in."

'Grieve and recover'​

The head teacher said the pupil had been in Year 5 at the school, adding: "Sara will be dearly-missed and, as a school community, we are all deeply affected by this tragedy.
"Our thoughts, prayers and sympathy are with those affected by this heart-breaking news."
Ms Chambers said she could not make further comment due to the police inquiry, but said the school was "fully supporting partner agencies with their investigations".
She added: "Our priority now is to support our school community as they grieve and recover."

The school website says that hijabs must be blue, black or white - school uniform colours.

On another matter:
When the father phoned from Pakistan to alert the police with his 'concern for welfare' of Sara, he would need to have given them a means of contacting him to let him know how her welfare was? or what?

And why did he make that call? Why?

And why did he make that call? Why?

Maybe to say that he didn't do it?
To distance himself from the murder?
To say that he was frightened?
To say that he wasn't there when it happened?

'Sara was let down by people meant to protect her', says campaigner

EXCLUSIVE: In the wake of Surrey County Council confirming Sara was known to them, care home consultant Chris Wild told MailOnline 'vulnerable' Sara Sharif was let down by authorities.

My long-shot theory is she wasn't deceased when they left and when they tried to reach her by phone or text and she didn't reply, the dad called police. Perhaps they were expecting her to pass away and got out of U.K. before it actually happened.

We have seen forensic officers come out a couple times with what looked like evidence bags

They most likely will just disappear under the protection of the Pakistani government. Moo

The government really doesn't care about these fugitives. However, if a policeman or official was in the position of having found the three POIs, and the bribe was large enough...

Even then, if political pressure is being applied then those potential bribe takers might be more concerned about holding on to their jobs.

ETA: Also, the father was an Imran Khan supporter, and the people currently in charge are literally the "Imran Khan opposition alliance". Not on the same side, politically speaking.

Interesting that the flat has been empty for 4 months since they left.

I thought council places are in demand by the needy.

Maybe the hijab is not a part of her school uniform. Perhaps she was taking Quran lessons at a mosque after school, and the head covering may be a standard off the shelf item? It's clear from other photos that she was not wearing a head covering at all times.

I'm sure someone mentioned there was a longer time interval (from booking the flights to actually leaving)? Days, not hours.

definitely odd.

 

[Caroclaud]

I think there can be a long period between tenants sometimes. Might need renovation, or might take a while for another family to relocate I guess?

Or people who know more than me about this topic and housing process than me, might suspect something different?

Wonder what sort of evidence can be taken away in evidence bags?

 

[Nikynoo]

sbm bbm do you have a link for that? The only picture I've seen of new wife she's not even wearing a veil.
ty.

I think it’s a passport photo, therefore no veil

 

[JennieM]

Obviously I'm 3000 miles behind. Is there a picture of Sara wearing a black hijab for school?

There is a photo of Sara wearing a black hijab, that some WS members speculated it could be a school uniform.

IMO I would imagine he told them she was dead and therefore no return call was needed

 

[Nikynoo]

And why did he make that call? Why?

I am wondering that also. At the moment, I don’t think he killed her. If he had, surely he would not have phoned? I am worried about the older brother. Let’s hope the other children are ok too.

You would be surprised how long some council properties stay empty. It may have been privately rented though.
