CCTV of Sara's family at Heathrow shown to court

Her father Urfan Sharif, 42, stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle Faisal Malik, 29, are accused of carrying out a campaign of abuse culminating in her killing on 8 August last year.

All three deny murder, with Ms Batool and Mr Sharif blaming each other for the violence in the family home in Woking, Surrey, and university student Mr Malik claiming he was not involved.

The Old Bailey was shown footage capturing the defendants as they prepared to board a flight to Pakistan on 9 August 2023, a day after Sara died – and just hours before police discovered her dead body in a bunkbed at the Hammond Road property on 10 August.

Surrey Police Investigating Officer Leanne Sherwood presented footage in which the family can be seen walking through Terminal 3 at Heathrow on 9 August, passing through departures, queuing for security, going through passport control and going through the boarding gates.
