What is a valid UK passport with a fake name? Did the passports have fake names, or did they come here with valid passport and then create fake names?

Yes, it's just ridiculous. Death was maybe not the intent, but rather to prevent being chased and caught. But hey, criminals, just don't steal! Pay what you owe for services, don't harm anybody, and the world would be fine.

This. As far as I understand it. The passports were issued under false names. I presume the UK Passport Authority didn't know this, so it would be a valid passport. There would be no indication in the departure airport in the UK (Manchester or London presumably) that there was a problem and no indication for the Canadian Border when the perps landed in Canada.
UK Passport Authority (or whatever it's called) needs to look into how UK passports can be issued under false names - what went wrong there? Close that hole. MOO. Too late for Sharif, RIP.

Could be based on the stolen identities of people who have died, or people who sell their own expired passports for big bucks, and the forger applies to renew the passports with different photos.
Wherever there are rules, there are people determined to break them, IMO.

Yes, of course. I have no idea if the UK passport authority can stop anything like this.

Another reason we won't even notice when AI replaces journalists.

Going down a trivia rabbit hole...
Though Irish Travelers (Scotland has / had indigenous travelers as well) are the most well known in the English speaking world, other European countries have, or perhaps had similar communities:
- Norway: Nomadic group of ethnic Norweigans also known as "Travelers" who lived aboard boats and sailed up and down the coast of Norway, and into neighboring nations. Spoke a dialect of that was a mixture of old tyme Norweigan mixed with Baltic and Slavic words.
- Germany and Germany speaking Europe: Nomadic group of German speaking, but non Gypsies known as 'Tinkerers". They used to have distinct settlements / "home bases" in German speaking Switzerland. Dialect was based on German Rhine dialect, which is evidently hard for many Germans to understand to begin with.
- Spain: Nomadic group of ethnic Spaniards known as "Metal Workers". They were concentrated in northern Spain as opposed to southern Spain. Evidently, 'Metal Workers' and ethnic Gypsies had unwritten rules about staying out of each others way.
