Sara Sharif’s dad denies her battered body was stripped and jetwashed in garden

Sara Sharif’s father denies allegations about her body being stripped and jetwashed in the garden as they planned to escape to Pakistan. The 10-year-old was found deceased in a bunkbed at their home in Surrey. The father admitted to abusing her but denied some severe accusations. Although he took responsibility for her death, the prosecution suggested all three defendants were involved in the abuse.

The court heard that on the night of Sara’s death, the family was arranging flights to Pakistan, showing concerns for themselves rather than the victim. The prosecutor detailed the alleged cleaning of Sara’s body in the garden after her demise, implying the involvement of all three defendants in disposing of evidence. The questioning revealed discrepancies in their statements, raising doubts about their actions post her death.

Despite Sharif’s claims of innocence in certain aspects, the prosecutor insisted on the family’s joint responsibility in the tragic events. The trial continues as the defendants face charges of murder and causing or allowing Sara’s death. Sharif, his wife, and brother-in-law maintain their denial of the accusations as the court adjourns until the next session.
