Police say no piece of information is insignificant as they again appeal for information two weeks after the body of a 10 year old girl was found in Woking.

A murder investigation was launched when Sara Sharif was discovered at her home on Hammond Road on 10 August.

Her father had called police after leaving the country.

Detectives say they are trying to piece together a picture of Sara's lifestyle prior to her death.

They widened the timescale of their investigation after the post-mortem examination revealed that Sara had suffered multiple and extensive injuries, likely to have been caused over a sustained and extended period of time.

Detective Superintendent Mark Chapman, from the Surrey Police and Sussex Police Major Crime Team, said:

"It is now two weeks since Sara's body was found and the impact of her tragic death continues to be felt deeply by the local and wider community, including our officers and staff.

"We would like to thank those people who have already come forward and reported information to us.

"However, we know that there will be lots of people in the Woking community and beyond who will have had contact with Sara who may not already have come forward, and we would encourage them to do so.

"Any information is better than no information - although you might think it's insignificant, it might be vital to the investigation and in helping us to bring justice for Sara."
