\n

The father of a British-Pakistani 10-year-old girl whose death<\/a> sparked an international manhunt pleaded not guilty to her murder in a UK court on Thursday, together with two other family members.<\/p>\n

Sara Sharif\u2019s body was discovered at her home in Woking, southern England, on August 10.<\/p>\n

A post-mortem examination found she had sustained<\/a> \u201cmultiple and extensive injuries\u201d over a long period.<\/p>\n

Her father 41-year-old Urfan Sharif, her step-mother Beinash Batool, 29, and his brother Faisal Malik, 28, deny killing the girl.<\/p>\n

They entered their pleas via video link to London\u2019s Old Bailey court.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC<\/a><\/em> Urfan and Faisal appeared by video link from Belmarsh Prison, while Beinash appeared by video link from Bronzefield Prison.<\/p>\n

Sara\u2019s body was found after an emergency call alerting officers was made from Pakistan by a man identifying himself as the father, according to detectives.<\/p>\n

The house was otherwise empty, and the manhunt continued with Interpol and Britain\u2019s foreign ministry coordinating with authorities in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The day before Sara\u2019s body was found the three defendants had left<\/a> the UK for Pakistan with Sharif\u2019s five other children.<\/p>\n

They were arrested<\/a> in September after disembarking from a flight from Dubai.<\/p>\n

The trial is expected to start in September 2024 and it is expected to last six weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
