Also interesting that Faisal's defence counsel is stressing that Urfan Sharif wanted to frame Beinash Batool - it's not just her counsel's line.
With US in the heaviest frame?Maybe uncle is afraid of being "framed" too?
I see them all framed in mugshots

Faisal Malik had spent increasing time away due to family’s cramped living conditions
Speaking of his brother’s presence in the household, Sharif confirmed that Faisal Malik spent large portions of his spare time out of the cramped flat in West Byfleet.
Neighbours had previously given evidence that they heard “screaming and crying” as well as the rattling of doors while the family were living at the small maisonette.
As a result of Malik moving to the UK to study in Portsmouth in December 2022 and staying with his older brother, Batool was required to “cover up” while Malik had to maintain his distance.
The court heard that Malik had then moved with the couple in April 2023 to their council home in Woking, but had to remain “cautious” given that he legally should not have been residing at the property.
If Malik really was studying at the University of Portsmouth, then it's probably true that he wasn't around very much. It's 50 miles from Woking to Portsmouth, so that's a 100 mile round trip. You do have to wonder how somebody who's already paying through the nose for course fees (no student loans for foreign students), would be able to afford that much travelling?Faisal Malik had spent increasing time away due to family’s cramped living conditions

possibly a student railcardIf Malik really was studying at the University of Portsmouth, then it's probably true that he wasnt't around very much.

Possibly not attending college. He was working in Woking McDonald's.possibly a student railcard
Gets you 1/3 off, and there is a direct line from Woking to Portsmouth. A return ticket from Woking to Portsmouth seems to be £30.80, so that's £20.50 with a student railcard. That would soon start racking up if you're doing it every day. I doubt he was paying much rent to Urfan and Batool in order to illegally live in their council house, though.possibly a student railcard
He would only have been able to do that for up to 20hrs a week under the terms of his student visa, though.Possibly not attending college. He was working in Woking McDonald's.
It depends what course he was doing (if he was actually attending), most degrees you don’t have to attend every day and some classes are remote.Gets you 1/3 off, and there is a direct line from Woking to Portsmouth.

Evidence about this will surely come out.It depends what course he was doing (if he was actually attending), most degrees you don’t have to attend every day and some classes are remote.
season tickets are cheaper, but I doubt that if he was attending, it was not every day.Gets you 1/3 off, and there is a direct line from Woking to Portsmouth.
