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

[x_files]

If they left her to die, it would be homicide I think.

I don’t believe it’s trafficking. I think it’s escalated abuse by either the father or step-mother or both that’s resulted to her death. It is possible they left her dying, although it is more likely they left her dead IMO.

that makes sense vs neglect.
Premediated leaving by buying 3 adult tickets and only 5 children tickets.

 

[Skigh]

I don't know if it's going to be horrific, other than a child's death is horrific.

The father was a taxi driver. He could have taken the body and hidden it anywhere, but didn't.

I'm really worried she wasn't yet deceased when they left.

Maybe the option of taking her body and hiding it was not one they could choose if any of the children had seen or heard Sara being hurt. The parents could not risk one of them saying something. I do not think they would have left her alive .

Moo. Sky news saw the passports...so they know the identities. I was step parented, there were children on both sides. And truly neither parents liked the other persons child...it wasn't our fault we were spawned by somebody else. So I still think step mom would be jealous if the father gave child attention. Sara has been described as out going and dreaming of modeling. Sara might of been daddy's little princess (I mean that in an innocent way)....moo

Depending on how old her older brother is and the airline's policy around child tickets, it could be that the 3 adult tickets were for dad, step mum, and older brother. Some airlines consider 12 as the cutoff age for child tickets, so if the older brother was 13 or above (which I believe he was), it may be that the third adult ticket was his.

Still seems odd that they'd book last-minute, one-way tickets though...

As far as we know, the family have four young children plus the 13 yr old.
So, unless there's another child that has not been mentioned, then the 13 yr old would be in the count of the five children.

Father left P to find a better life in the1st World country.

He succeeded.

He had everything: job, nice (council) house, beautiful kids.

And now he is fleeing back in shame.
To the country he left.
How would his relatives greet him?

And the son?
Half European, accustomed to comforts of a rich Western country.

This family is doomed.

But then, we are creators of our own Fate.

What I meant here when we just had info about three fled POIs was I couldn’t imagine that being two parental figures, as would necessitate leaving kids behind in UK. All we know according to previous msm links is no one else present when LE arrived

Moo..you are right 12 is cut off age but is there student..then adult. ? It says 3 adults and 5 children, so it would be 3 adult and 4 children.
Moo..somebody in the family caused Sara's death and brother and sisters can get nasty with each other. 10 and 13 is the age emotions, and boundaries are being tested and learnt. Moo
I think they panicked...they left a good life style behind. The father has been in UK for 20yrs... He does not seem devout or highly traditional. Not much known about the new wife though.

 

[NextSprint]

I wonder how long it will be until the police name the 3 people of interest they wish to speak to. I am presuming two are Sara's father and stepmother .

With our police? Never probably. Soft as pudding.

 

[Furore]

I thought this. I don’t wish to speculate too much but as a general rule shared custody would be a starting point for children of divorced parents irrespective of religion? Reasons otherwise (not saying any of these are relevant but thinking out loud so to speak) might be severe mental health problems, abuse, neglect, new partners on a risk register, substance misuse etc

I wondered if perhaps they had included Sara when they booked the children's tickets. Would that then make up the 3 adults (if older brother is included in this) and the 5 children's tickets (if Sara is included)?

If they want people to search for them why conceal their identities?

 

[Dotta]

"A post-mortem examination was due to take yesterday - a cause of death has not been formally confirmed."

What does it exactly mean?

Will the public know the results of autopsy?

By the way - DM writes about "quiet village of Horsell"
Just for those who berated me for using this term haha

Three people known to Sara Sharif booked one-way tickets to Pakistan

Moo..I think they left because Sara was deceased. Don't think they are going on holiday.

All the tickets were used. One way or another they have flown to Pakistan with one extra person. If you count the 13 year old as an adult, they've gained a kid from somewhere. It's far more likely that the extra person is one of the adults.

Did the family own 1 or 2 cars?
Because 2 cars were seen.

DM writes about tickets for 3 adults and 5 children.

Thank you! I love case timelines.

I wonder what items they left behind in the house? Was it cleared out, like they planned a big move. Or food in the fridge since the departure was fast?

[Megnut]

Had they concealed her body, they could've pretended she went with them to Pakistan. No violation of custody. Nothing to investigate.... and probably zero grounds for her poor mom to get any kind of proof or reassurance.

Sudden, out of control rage or "honorc killing?

Why not just leave her behind, ALIVE?

It will take years for them to face justice, if it ever happens. Buying so many tickets to Pakistan is not cheap, wonder how they afforded that as a taxi driver.

And the dad had complained about how expensive the 1.2k taxi fee yearly was … but I guess gathering money here and there, wife, relatives, maybe credit cards …
