- Her father, Urfan Sharif, 41, rushed to Islamabad with his partner Beinash Batool, 29, and his 28-year-old brother Faisal Mali, before they could be questioned by cops
The devastated mother of murdered Sarah Sharif has blasted her 10-year-old’s daughter’s uncle over his ‘lies’ her daughter died after ‘falling down the stairs and breaking her neck’.
Little girl’s body found
Little Sara was discovered by police at her family home on August 10, and detectives confirmed that three family members were believed to have fled to Pakistan the day before she was found – with detectives launching a murder investigation.
Her father, Urfan Sharif, 41, rushed to Islamabad with his partner Beinash Batool, 29, and his 28-year-old brother Faisal Mali, before they could be questioned by cops in the UK.
Voice from Pakistan
In a fresh revelation from Pakistan, Sara’s uncle Imran Sharif told police his niece fell down the stairs during an ‘accident’ and died.
The sibling, who has not been charged or arrested, made the claim in a police interview after cops raided the Sharif family home in Jhelum – 84 miles south of Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.
Grieving mother is not buying it
But Wednesday Sara’s heartbroken mother Olga Sharif, 36, rubbished his ‘baseless version’ of events as she said: ‘If there was an accident you don’t leave the country in secret.
‘He could have just made that claim to protect his brother and try to stop questions being asked. I don’t think he is being honest,’ she told The Sun, as she claimed Urfan could have ‘lied’ to his sibling about what happened.
‘The only person I want answers from is Urfan. He has to be questioned about what’s happened to my daughter,’ she added.
The anguished mother said she needed to know why her little girl was left in that house ‘whilst everyone flew out of the country after she was already dead’.
Insisting she will ‘never have closure’ until she knows what happened to her daughter, Ms Sharif pleaded: ‘Urfan has to do the right thing because he can’t hide away forever.’
The grieving relative, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals, revealed how Sharif was a gambler and claimed he is prone to violence – with police often called to the family home in Woking, Surrey, when Sara lived with her real mum Olga.
