Sara Sharif: mother tells of grief as father and stepmother call death an 'incident'

Urfan Sharif, 41, and Beinash Batool, 29, are wanted by police for questioning in relation to the death of Sara, whose body was found at the family home in Woking on 10 August. Their statement came after Sara's mother said that she had barely recognised her daughter's body because she had been so badly injured.

Batool, Sharif and his brother Faisal Malik, 28, are believed to have travelled to Islamabad on 9 August. Surrey police said they had left with five children aged between one and 13 years old.

In the footage, Batool showed no emotion as she said she and Sharif were willing to cooperate with UK authorities over the case. She said: "Sara's death was an incident. Our family in Pakistan are severely affected by all that is going on."
