This is exactly why I looked it up Sara would have had great difficulty speaking and movement of tongue would have caused a lot of pain so even if urfan only greeted Sara with a hello or a good night she would have at the very least sounded raspy and presented with symptoms similar to severe laryngitis and surely any caring and loving father like the one he is portraying would have brought Sara to a gp for an antibiotic seen as he is saying he was unaware of any of Sara's injuries or abuses . They paid a visit to a gp prior to going to Pakistan so I'm assuming they had a family doctor .
I wonder have the police investigated pharmacy's on the route of urfans journeys in his taxi work and probed if large amounts of medical supplies were bought such as bandages or pain relief or burn treatment as it would incriminate urfan knowing about previous injuries. They were able to give evidence of batool buying tape ? Didn't she purchase the tape in two places amazon and another shop .or was it all purchased on amazon ?
I don’t know whether they did investigate pharmacies or not, but I know that one of the news reports started that there was no evidence of any residue of adhesive to the burn on her bottom so that was evidence that it had never had any treatment/dressing.
what I don’t know is how long traces of adhesive/dressing residue would remain, but the news report seemed to suggest that the lack of this meant it had never had any treatment.
I think the report with this information in is somewhere in thread 2.
