Judge says they only came back to UK due to 'family pressure'published at 12:35 Greenwich Mean Time
Justice Cavanagh turns to the phone call that father Sharif made to Surrey Police from Pakistan, when he said he had killed his daughter.
He says both Sharif and Batool took part in a "bizarre" video press statement, in which they referred only briefly to Sara's death, saying it was an "incident", and then went on to complain of the pressure authorities in Pakistan were putting on Sharif's family.
Cavanagh says eventually three of them returned to the UK, but adds he does not believe they came back willingly, but under family pressure.
