- Heartbreaking Discovery: Sara Sharif Found Dead at Home in Woking, Surrey
- Community Shock: Grief and Reflection as Investigation Progresses
Following the assassination of 10-year-old Sara Sharif, the international manhunt for three suspects continues.
The girl’s body was discovered alone at her residence in Woking, Surrey, in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The Surrey Police stated that the three individuals it was attempting to locate, who were known to Sara, had left the United Kingdom the day before.
In an interview with The Sun, Olga Sharif, the mother of Sara, stated that her life “will never be the same again” after her loss.
Official identification has not yet occurred, and investigators are still at the Hammond Road property where Sara’s body was discovered.
Detectives are collaborating with international authorities to locate the individuals they wish to interview regarding her death. They have not publicly disclosed any information about the three individuals
No arrests have been made, and an autopsy will be conducted on Tuesday.
In an interview with The Sun, Ms. Sharif called her daughter a “amazing girl” and “too young”.
She added, “There is nothing I can do to bring her back to life, so I must only remember the good times we shared.”
The local imam stated that the community was stunned by her passing.
In recent days, Hafiz Hashmi, the Imam of the Shah Jahan Mosque, has been unable to slumber.
He stated, “We are profoundly shocked and distressed.” Cannot believe such an event could happen to a child so innocent.
We do not know the circumstances surrounding the girl’s passing, so we pray for her soul to rest in serenity. We hope to find out how the girl died so her family can bury her.
“People are shocked.”
The mosque stated in a statement that it was “deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of Sara’s life last week.”
The statement continued, “Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with her and her loved ones during this difficult and testing time.”
A local church, St Mary the Virgin in Horsell, has been open to the community for “prayer, reflection, and comfort” since last Friday, and floral tributes have been left outside the house.
In April, a Pakistani family with six “very young” children moved into the semi-detached home on Hammond Road where there was a significant police presence last week, according to neighbors.
After finding Sara’s body, an unnamed neighbour said she “appeared to help care for her younger siblings, especially the baby.”
They stated that they “appeared to be a happy family who cared for all of their children.”
Sara’s body was discovered in the vacant home at approximately 02:50 BST on August 10th.
Anna Bradshaw, an expert in extradition law at the London firm Peters and Peters, predicted that any future legal proceedings involving foreign tribunals would likely be drawn out.
She stated, “This is an opportunity for the person to contest their extradition.”
“Some nations will not extradite their citizens. Most governments require a prima facie case and have human rights tests.
