Family members on trial for murder of 10-year-old British-Pakistani girl

The body of a 10-year-old British-Pakistani girl whose death sparked an international manhunt was found with burn marks believed to have been made by an iron, a prosecutor told a London court on Monday.

Sara Sharif was found dead in bed at her family home in Woking, southern England, on August 10, 2023.

All three adults are on trial for her murder.

A postmortem examination found “signs of traumatic head injury”, apparent scald burns on the inside of her ankles and bite marks — five to her left lower arm and one to her inner thigh — that were “probably human”.
