British police said on Friday they had charged three people with the murder of 10-year-old girl Sara Sharif found dead at her home last month, including her father.
Sharif was found with extensive injuries at her home in Woking, a town southwest of London, on August 10.
Her father Urfan Sharif, 41, his partner Beinash Batool, 29, and her uncle Faisal Malik, 28, had all travelled to Pakistan a day earlier.
They returned to Britain on Wednesday when they were arrested at London's Gatwick airport after disembarking from a flight.

"Sara’s mother has been informed of this latest development and is being supported by specialist officers," the police statement said.
