Background to the case: What you need to knowpublished at 13:15 Greenwich Mean Time
Sara Sharif was born in Slough on 11 January 2013. Her father, Urfan Sharif, came to the UK from Pakistan to study and went on to marry Sara’s mother, Olga Domin, in Woking in 2009.
The court has previously heard that Sara had been hooded, burned and beaten during more than two years of abuse.
Sharif, his now wife, Beinash Batool, and Sara’s uncle, Faisal Malik, all lived with Sara and her siblings in Woking before her death.
The three travelled to Islamabad, Pakistan, with Sara’s five brothers and sisters on 9 August 2023, the day before her body was found at the family home by Surrey Police.
A post-mortem examination found the 10-year-old had sustained “multiple and extensive injuries” before her death.
A previous court hearing was told police found her body after receiving a call from Pakistan on 10 August 2023.
The three adults were arrested on their return to the UK on 13 September.
