Police have launched an international manhunt following the distressing discovery of a 10-year-old girl lifeless body in a house in Horsell, Surrey. She has been named locally as Sara Sharif. In an alarming twist to the ongoing investigation, it has been revealed that the three individuals’ police are seeking had a known connection to the young victim.
Local law enforcement revealed that no other individuals were present at the property when they responded to the tragic incident in the early hours of Thursday. Investigators have now ascertained that the individuals they wish to question in connection to the case departed the United Kingdom on the day prior to the discovery, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding their abrupt departure.
Detective Chief Inspector Debbie White, leading the investigation, stated that officers are actively collaborating with “international authorities” in an effort to locate and bring these individuals back for questioning.
Formal identification of the victim is yet to be completed, but the local community has already come together to mourn her tragic loss. Flowers and messages of condolences have been placed outside the house in Horsell, where the somber scene serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
The neighbourhood in Horsell, which is situated just north of Woking town centre, has been left in shock by the tragedy. Residents have shared their sorrow and disbelief over the untimely passing of the young girl. Reports indicate that the family residing in the house had recently moved in during April, consisting of a Pakistani family with six “very young” children.
As the investigation continues, officers remain present at the property on Hammond Road.
