Sara's father and stepmum release video over death

- TOM PETTIFOR

SARA Sharif's dad and stepmother claimed in a video they are willing to hand themselves in but failed to say how the girl died.

The fugitives broke cover for the first time since 10-year-old Sara was found dead at her home.

Urfan Sharif, 41, was in the video with Beinash Batool, who said they are willing to fight their case in court.

The pair and Sara's uncle Faisal Malik, 28, flew to Islamabad in Pakistan the day before she was found in Woking, Surrey, on August 10.

They travelled with five kids aged between one and 13.

Police have launched a murder investigation.

Last month a postmortem found Sara had multiple injuries that were likely caused over a sustained period.

In the video, Mr Sharif sits in silence as Ms Batool reads a statement. She denied media reports that Mr Sharif's brother Imran said Sara fell down the stairs and claimed the family were in hiding.

Ms Batool said: "Firstly, I would like to talk about Sara. Sara's death was an incident.
