SARAH Sharif's dad has been seen for the first time since her death in a video message filmed while on the run in Pakistan. <\/p>\n
The 10-year-old was found dead at a home in Woking, Surrey, more than a month ago.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Her dad Urfan fled the UK to his native Pakistan where he made a 999 call to British cops.<\/p>\n
An international manhunt is now underway to find Mr Sharif, his partner Beinash Batool and Sara\u2019s uncle Faisal Malik and bring them back to Britain to face questioning.<\/p>\n
Now, a new video has shown Mr Sharif and Ms Batool sitting together as Ms Batool reads a statement over the August 10 tragedy.<\/p>\n
In the clip, she revealed her family "are willing to cooperate with the UK authorities and fight our case in court" – but moaned about the conditions they are living under.<\/p>\n
She said: "Firstly, I would like to talk about Sara. Sara's death was an incident. Our family in Pakistan are severely affected by all that is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
It's the first time the pair have surfaced since they disappeared to Pakistan following the death of Sara, with police desperately hunting for them.<\/p>\n
It's still unclear how Sara died, however a previous post-mortem revealed the little girl suffered \u201cmultiple and extensive injuries which are likely to have been caused over a sustained and extended period of time\u201d.<\/p>\n
And last month, the little girl's uncle – Urfan\u2019s brother Imran Sharif – allegedly claimed Sara died after breaking her neck when she fell down a flight of stairs.<\/p>\n

I am very worried about Imran's safety."<\/p>\n She claims her family have gone into hiding as "everyone is scared for their safety.<\/p>\n Ms Batool continued: "The kids are unable to attend school as they're afraid to leave the house. No one is leaving the house.<\/p>\n "The groceries have run out and there is no food for the kids as the adults are unable to leave their homes out of fear for safety."<\/p>\n National\u00a0Crime\u00a0Agency cops have been working with Interpol and Pakistani authorities to track Mr Sharif, 41, down.<\/p>\n It is understood the dad fled capital Islamabad with Ms Batool and Mr Malik on August 9 \u2013 the day before\u00a0Sara was found dead.<\/p>\n Pakistan\u00a0police\u00a0previously said they found evidence the dad briefly returned to his family home in Jhelum.<\/p>\n They are now widening their search area for the on-the-run trio as the net closes in.<\/p>\n There is no\u00a0extradition treaty\u00a0between Pakistan and the UK, which would make it difficult to bring the suspects back for questioning.<\/p>\n Sara's grandad Muhammad Sharif – the father of missing Urfan – said his son told him her death\u00a0was an "accident".<\/p>\n It comes after Sara's mum Olga spoke of her torment at identifying her murdered daughter's body after she suffered horror injuries.<\/p>\n She told Polish\u00a0television\u00a0programme\u00a0Uwaga!\u00a0on the TVN Channel: "One of her cheeks was swollen and the other side was bruised.<\/p>\n "Even now, when I close my eyes I can see what my baby looked like."<\/p>\n Olga said her daughter was dressed in Mickey Mouse pyjamas and had been covered in a quilt.<\/p>\n She added: "No mother should have to see something like that".<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Polish native Olga separated from Sharif in 2015, with both Sara and her brother sent to live with their dad by a family\u00a0court.<\/p>\n Although the mum had equal rights to see the children, she said this became harder over time.<\/p>\nThis Morning loses out on NTAs Daytime gong for first time in 12 years<\/h3>\n
