Sara Sharif was found under a blanket in a bunk bed at her home in Woking, a court has heard, as her father, stepmother and uncle were remanded into custody by a district judge after being charged with the 10-year-old’s murder. Urfan Sharif, 41, Beinash Batool, 29, and Faisal Malik, 28, from Woking appeared at Guildford magistrates court on Friday after being arrested at Gatwick airport on Wednesday evening. The defendants have also been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child. They spoke only to confirm their names, date of birth and address. They did not enter any pleas. The trio travelled to Pakistan a day before police discovered Sara’s body at a property in Woking on 10 August. Prosecutor Amanda Burrows told the court police were alerted to the situation when they received a call from Pakistan, which lasted eight minutes and 34 seconds, at 2.47am on 10 August. The flight had been booked on 8 August, the prosecution said. Officers arrived at the property and found the 10-year-old lying under a blanket in a bunk bed in an upstairs room, the court heard. When an officer pulled the blanket back they found the girl lying fully clothed in the centre of the bed, the court was told. The child was lying face up and her hands were lying on her front, the prosecution said. She was identified using the DNA of her mother, Olga Sharif, who lives in Somerset, and another relative, the court was told. A postmortem found the youngster had suffered “multiple and extensive injuries” over a “sustained and extended” period of time. The court was told her cause of death is yet to be established. The court heard her cause of death remains to be established, but she had “healed fractures” and injuries that “clearly demonstrate” the girl was subjected to “multiple events of violence”. She also died as a result of third-party involvement, the prosecution said. Lawyers for the defendants indicated that they deny the charges and no application for bail was made. The defendants were remanded into custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
