The report concludes that while a “great deal of information” was available to the police, social services and education authorities, even safeguarding professionals appeared to have been “groomed and manipulated” by her killer father, Urfan Sharif.
Sara, who was found dead at the family home in Woking, Surrey, in August 2023, suffered what was described as “horrific abuse” at the hands of Sharif and her stepmother, Beinash Batool.
