The three accused of killing Sara Sharif have left Sialkot for Britain, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.

According to sources in police, Sara Sharif's father Irfan Sharif, stepmother Binish and uncle Faisal are the accused and they left for the UK.

According to family sources, the suspects will be grilled.  The death of 10-year-old Sara Sharif sparked an international manhunt as police try to trace family members in connection with their investigation.

On 17 August, the body was found in a home in Woking, Surrey, sparking a murder investigation.  

A post-mortem examination revealed she had suffered multiple and extensive injuries. Her body was found after her father called 999 from Pakistan.

On 29 August, the inquest did not determine a cause of death and was adjourned until 29 February 2024 so that police could continue with their investigations.

On 6 September, Sara's stepmother spoke for the first time in a video. She said the family was willing to cooperate with British authorities and "fight the case in court".

She denied media reports Mr Sharif's brother Imran said Sara fell down the stairs and claimed the family had "gone into hiding". Sara's mother said she is haunted by the sight of her daughter's body in a mortuary.

Speaking to the Polish television programme Uwaga! she said: "One of her cheeks was swollen and the other side was bruised. No mother should have to see something like that."

Sara and her older brother had been living with their mother from 2015 until 2019 when the family court ruled they should live with their father.

Ms Sharif still had equal rights to see the children and said while that was easy to maintain initially, it became harder over time.

Police in Pakistan raided at least 20 homes nationwide in the search for Sara's family. The raids were concentrated in Jhelum and Mirpur.
