How could he make himself look innocent? He had taken his family and left a 10 year old alone whom he knew was either already dead or severely injured . What reason could he give to the police ? lt is not Home Alone and he could say she was left accidentally.
Yes he could have been trying to make it sound like she was left in the care of someone.
I am still puzzling why the forensic team are spending so long at their previous home as I presume the family would have taken all their possessions with them when they moved . Could the family , knowing it was still empty ,been able to still access it since their move?
Soz!!
If he did murder her, there was no reason for him to call at all.
I would not have thought the family would have known how long their old house would be left empty and it is highly likely the Council would have done an end of tenancy check. Moving between council houses would mean they would have time to move their possessions .I agree that they might have kept a key.
Skigh, I agree that it's highly likely. However it can depend on what the Council's or Housing Association's intentions are to do with the property. As an example, a housing association property next door to my property remained empty for two whole years until they decided to auction it.
Since the family were known to the police and to social services, and their 10 year old daughter was murdered in the next home after after suffering extensive injuries over a sustained period (which would include this previous home) I would not like to itemise what I imagine the police would be looking for by way of evidence.
It could be,but council houses are let unfinished and blood stains could be put down to a nose bleed or something similar . To all intense and purpose she had not lived there for 4 months and the injuries which killed her happened at the Horsell house.
Perhaps that historical reference dates to the timeframe of the original marriage. Domestic disturbances....Sara Sharif murder inquiry: Surrey Police had contact with family of girl found dead
A senior Surrey Police officer says contact with the girl's family was "some years ago".www.bbc.co.uk
Police have had "historic" contact with the family of a 10-year-old girl who was found murdered at her home, a senior officer has said.
Det Supt Mark Chapman said Sara Sharif's family were known to Surrey Police officers for "some years".
It comes after Surrey County Council also said the family, who lived in Woking, were known to the authorities.
Three family members went to Pakistan before Sara's body was found on 10 August and are wanted by the police.
Det Supt Chapman told the BBC: "Surrey Police's contact with the family has been on a limited basis. It's been on a historic basis. And that goes back some time."
He said the police contact with the Sharif family "goes back some years" but declined to comment further.
The police officer also said the force had not referred the case to the police watchdog, adding: "Surrey Police have reviewed the position and it doesn't fulfil the criteria to alert the Independent Office of Police Complaints."
