Following the passing of 10-year-old Sara Sharif, three people are still being sought out globally.
Sara, whose corpse was discovered unattended in the early hours of Thursday at her Woking, Surrey, home after a call for her wellbeing, will have a post-mortem examination later.
According to Surrey Police, the three individuals it was looking for departed the country the day before.
To find them, the force is collaborating with foreign law enforcement.
The neighbourhood was shocked by her death, according to the local imam.
Imam of the Shah Jahan Mosque Hafiz Hashmi claimed he has been unable to sleep lately.
“We are incredibly shocked and saddened,” he said on BBC Radio Surrey. Can’t believe such a thing could happen to such a good kid.
We pray for the girl’s soul to find peace because we don’t know the details of her death. We hope that we can uncover the facts about how she died so that the girl’s kin may bury her.
People are startled and unable to comprehend how this could occur to such a defenceless infant.
To find them, the force is collaborating with foreign law enforcement.
In addition, a nearby church was made available for neighbourhood people to visit for “prayer, reflection, or comfort,” and flowers were put outside the house as a mark of respect.
The semi-detached home on Hammond Road had a significant police presence last week, and neighbours told reporters a Pakistani family with six “very young” children had moved in in April.
A neighbour who preferred to remain anonymous stated of Sara that she “appeared to help look after her younger brothers and sisters, and especially the baby” after the body of Sara was found.
They said that they “seemed a happy family who cared for all their children”.
On August 10, at around 02:50 BST, Sara’s body was discovered at the unoccupied residence.
Investigators are still on the scene at the Hammond Road property, and formal identification has not yet taken place.
