<\/p>\nFIVE children who travelled from the UK to Pakistan with Sara Sharif's father have been taken into custody.<\/p>\n
A judge ruled that the kids would be sent to a government childcare facility after being found at the home of Sara's grandfather Muhammad Sharif in a raid.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Yesterday, cops raided the house as they continued to hunt\u00a0Urfan Sharif\u00a0and his partner, Beinash Batool.<\/p>\n
The pair fled the UK the day before schoolgirl\u00a0Sara, 10, \u00a0was found dead at her home\u00a0in Woking, Surrey, on August 10.<\/p>\n
Urfan and Batool left Britain with five children aged between one and 13, and\u00a0Surrey Police\u00a0want to question them over Sara's tragic death.<\/p>\n
Post-mortem tests found little Sara sustained "multiple and extensive injuries".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The children, aged between one and 13, will now be taken into the care of the Child Protection and Welfare Bureau.<\/p>\n
Today, the children were carried by family members, surrounded by armed police and local media, into court for around 40 minutes.<\/p>\n
They were moved from court to court as authorities attempted to work out what should happen to them, reports BBC News.<\/p>\n
The children were then ushered quickly into a waiting police car and taken on to another court.<\/p>\n

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 It is the first time the pair have surfaced since they disappeared to Pakistan.<\/p>\n Sara's body was discovered after Sharif called\u00a0999 from Pakistan.<\/p>\n An inquest opened into Sara's death last week heard how medics are still\u00a0unable to establish a cause of death.<\/p>\n But Woking Coroner's Court was told the youngster's death is likely to have been "unnatural".<\/p>\n A previous post-mortem revealed she suffered \u201cmultiple and extensive injuries which are likely to have been caused over a sustained and extended period of time\u201d.<\/p>\n It is understood the dad fled capital Islamabad with Beinash and Faisal 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 But there is no\u00a0extradition treaty\u00a0between Pakistan and the UK, which would make it difficult to bring the suspects back for questioning.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/VP-COMP-BACHERLORETTE-v2-1.jpg\")
