Sara was found dead at her home in Woking by police on 10 August following the receipt of a 999 call made from Pakistan by a man identifying himself as Sara’s father, Urfan Sharif.
Detectives have launched a murder investigation and are appealing to speak to Sharif, 41, his partner Beinash Batool, 29, and Urfan’s brother, Faisal Malik, 28 as part of their inquiry.
It is believed Urfan travelled to Islamabad, Pakistan, with his partner and brother on 9 August along with five children aged between one and 13 years old, according to Surrey Police.
Surrey County Council has confirmed that Sara was “known” to the local authority prior to her death but said it could not comment further due to an ongoing safeguarding review.
