Authorities have disclosed that three individuals, suspected to be connected to the tragic death of a 10-year-old girl in Horsell, Surrey, had a known association with the young victim. Police are actively working to locate these individuals, believed to have left the United Kingdom following the girl’s demise.
The child, locally identified as Sara Sharif, was discovered deceased in a residence located in Horsell, Surrey, during the early hours of Thursday. The Surrey Police, upon their arrival at the scene, confirmed that no other individuals were present in the property.
The authorities believe that the individuals of interest in connection to the incident exited the country on Wednesday, triggering an international search for their whereabouts. Detective Chief Inspector Debbie White has affirmed that collaboration with “international authorities” is ongoing in an effort to locate and question them regarding the circumstances surrounding the girl’s tragic death.
While formal identification is yet to be carried out, the Surrey Police released a statement noting that the child has been identified within the local community.
The house in question, situated on Hammond Road in Horsell, remains under police presence as investigations unfold. Neighbours in the vicinity recall that a Pakistani family, including six “very young” children, had moved into the residence in April.
Tributes and condolences have been expressed by members of the community, with floral arrangements and heartfelt messages adorning the property’s exterior. One poignant message reads, “Sweet girl, I’m so sorry that your sparkle was put out too soon.
As the investigation progresses, authorities aim to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the young girl’s untimely passing and bring clarity to the events that have unfolded in the quiet village of Horsell.
