Siblings of Sara Sharif, found dead at her father’s home in August, are made wards of court

All five children remain in Pakistan, despite efforts of Surrey council to secure their return

The older brother and half-siblings of the 10-year-old schoolgirl Sara Sharif, who was found dead at the home of her father and stepmother in August, have been made wards of court in this country.

Despite efforts by Surrey county council to secure their return to the UK, all five children, aged one to 13, remain in Pakistan where they were taken by their father, Urfan Sharif, and the mother of the younger four siblings, Beinash Batool, the day before Sara's body was discovered by police on 10 August.
