Sara was 'starved ...and strangled until neck broke'

Jurors were previously told the 10-year-old had suffered more than 70 injuries shortly before she was found dead in her home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10 last year.

Sara's father Urfan Sharif, 42, is on trial at the Old Bailey accused of his daughter's murder, alongside Sara's stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle, Faisal Malik, 29.

Yesterday, the court was shown X-rays of some of her injuries, including fractures to the fingers of her left hand and one in the U-shaped hyoid bone in her neck.
