Sara Sharif's Grandfather Vows to Prevent Siblings' Return to UK

Muhammad Sharif claims Pakistan is the safest place for the children as legal custody battle continues in Lahore High Court.

  • Sara Sharif's five siblings remain in Jhelum, Pakistan, under the care of their grandfather, Muhammad Sharif, following their removal from the UK last year.
  • Muhammad Sharif has stated his intention to fight efforts by Surrey County Council to return the children to the UK, asserting that they are happy and safe in his care.
  • The children were taken to Pakistan by their father, Urfan Sharif, stepmother, Beinash Batool, and uncle, Faisal Malik, a day before Sara's body was discovered in Woking, Surrey.
  • Urfan Sharif and Beinash Batool were convicted of Sara's murder last week, with Faisal Malik found guilty of causing or allowing her death.
  • The Lahore High Court has adjourned the custody case until mid-January, leaving the children's future uncertain as UK authorities continue efforts to bring them back.
