Cause of Sara’s death unknown but probably not natural – inquest

The cause of 10-year-old Sara Sharif‘s death remains a mystery, as mentioned during the investigation.

Sara was found dead at her home in Woking on 10 August. Her relatives had gone to Pakistan a day before.

It was not yet determined exactly how she died, but it is likely that her death was unnatural. This information was heard during an investigation into her death at Surrey Coroner’s Court.

At the beginning of the investigation, Coroner Simon Wickens postponed the hearing for six months so that the police can continue their investigation.

The police started searching for someone from another country after they found Sara’s dead body.

The police are looking for three people: Sara’s dad, Urfan Sharif, who is 41 years old; Urfan’s partner, Beinash Batool, who is 29 years old; and Urfan’s brother, Faisal Malik, who is 28 years old.
Mr Wickens, the local official in charge of determining causes of death in Surrey, explained that he doesn’t usually postpone legal proceedings for such a long time. However, due to the difficulty of the police investigation and the involvement of international matters, he has decided to make this exception.

He said that Sara Sharif was born in Slough in January 2013 and passed away in her house in Woking.

She was confirmed to have died on August 10, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she died exactly then.

They compared the DNA of the woman with her mother, Olga Sharif, to figure out who she was.

During the court proceedings, it was stated that the pathologist, Nathaniel Carey, couldn’t determine the exact reason for the person’s death. However, he mentioned that it was probably not a natural death.

The person in charge of the investigation into Sara’s death expressed his heartfelt sympathy to her family and postponed the inquiry until 29 February.

None of her family members were there at the beginning of the legal investigation.
At the moment, the police in Pakistan are expanding their search for Sara’s family.

Police officers informed the BBC that they have increased their investigation to two additional places near the city of Jhelum. This means they are now searching in a total of four areas because they received new details from different sources.

Police in the UK said that Mr. Sharif, who is 41 years old, called emergency services from Pakistan. This call helped them locate Sara’s body soon after Mr. Sharif arrived in Islamabad.

Last week, a court in Pakistan said that Mr. Sharif’s family members in the country cannot be held for questioning about his location.

After Sharif’s family said that the police unlawfully arrested two of his brothers who live in Pakistan, it happened.
