Tragic Sara Sharif told her grandad she was looking forward to visiting him in Pakistan hours before she was killed

TRAGIC Sara Sharif excitedly told her grandad about a planned trip with her siblings just hours before she was killed.

The ten-year-old also told him she was looking forward to visiting him in Pakistan so they could explore his village.

Grandad Muhammad, speaking before his son Urfan, who is Sara’s father, her stepmum Beinash Batool and her uncle Faisal Malik were convicted, said he chatted with her on a video call on the day she died.

He told The Sun: “She was having dinner on the dining table.

"I can’t believe she was brutally beaten.

“She talked about going for a trip with her siblings in coming days and she said she will visit Pakistan and meet me and want to explore the village again.”

On Wednesday, father-of-seven Muhammad, 68, collapsed and had to be taken to hospital when the three were found guilty.

Urfan, 43, and partner Batool, 30, were convicted of murder and Urfan’s brother Malik, 29, of allowing her death.

Sara had suffered years of abuse before being beaten to death at her home in Woking, Surrey, last year.

Urfan, who divorced Sara’s mum Olga Domin in 2017, Batool and Malik then fled to Pakistan, turning up at the family home in Jhelum.

Ex-army officer Muhammad told The Sun: “The death of Sara was the saddest moment of my life.

“When Urfan suddenly reached our family home and told me Sara is no more, I did not believe his words.

"I was expecting Sara to come with them and give us a surprise.

"I yelled and cried loudly and shouted at them.

"It was a heartbreaking moment for me.

“I was not aware of the level of torture and abuse but the stepmum Batool’s behaviour was not good.”

Meanwhile, another of his sons, Urfan’s brother, Imran, is standing by the killer, insisting that he is innocent.

He said: “He would never harm his own daughter.

“We plan to consult our legal team and push our brother Urfan to appeal this verdict.

"This decision has deeply affected us and left our family in deep sorrow.

“We are determined to fight this unjust verdict with our legal team and seek justice.

"This ruling has shattered our family, leaving us devastated and deeply anguished.”
