Manhunt on for Father Linked to Tragic Death of 10-Year-Old in Surrey
International Hunt Underway
Police in Pakistan are desperately hunting Urfan Sharif, father of young Sara Sharif, found dead at her home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10. The case has sparked a cross-border investigation, with UK officers naming Urfan, his partner Beinash Batool, and his brother Faisal Shahzad Malik as key suspects.
Suspects Flee to Islamabad Days Before Tragedy
The plot thickened when Urfan, Beinash, and Faisal flew to Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, on August 9—just a day before Sara’s body was discovered. Their family home is in Jhelum, Punjab, about 84 miles from Islamabad. Police revealed the group includes five children aged between one and 13, intensifying concerns.
Escape Route and Family Origins Traced
Officer Imran Ahmed said Sharif briefly returned to Jhelum before vanishing. Meanwhile, investigations into the family’s roots led to Kari village, Sharif’s birthplace, but locals said the family left 20 years ago and never returned.
Brutal Injuries Reveal Shocking Abuse
The cause of Sara’s death remains unknown, but a post-mortem revealed multiple severe injuries inflicted over a prolonged period. UK and Pakistani forces are working together, focusing on capturing Sharif, Batool, and Malik to unravel exactly what happened.
This heart-wrenching case has sparked public outrage, putting the spotlight on the urgent need for global efforts to protect vulnerable children and bring justice to victims like Sara Sharif.
