Five children who travelled from the UK to Pakistan with Sara Sharif’s father have been recovered from her grandfather’s home in the city of Jhelum, police have told Sky News.
Police also added they are now “hopeful” they can locate Sara’s father Urfan and her stepmother Beinash Batool.
The address is where police believe they had been hiding.
Sara, 10, was found dead at her home in Woking, Surrey, last month, prompting UK police to launch a murder investigation.
Mr Sharif, 41, Ms Batool, 29 and his brother Faisal Shahzad Malik, 28, are all believed to have travelled from the UK to Pakistan the day before her body was found.
In a video shared with Sky News last week, Ms Batool said the family is willing to co-operate with British authorities and “fight our case in court.”
“Firstly, I would like to talk about Sara. Sara’s death was an incident,” Ms Batool said as she sat side-by-side with Mr Sharif.
“Our family in Pakistan are severely affected by all that is going on,” she added.
