Sara Sharif's paternal grandfather has been granted guardianship of her siblings by a court in Pakistan.

The decision comes after years of legal limbo following the murder of 10-year-old Sara by her father and stepmother in 2023.

The children's grandfather has said her siblings will retain their British citizenship so they can choose to return to the UK if they wish.

All five children, who are now aged between 16 and four, have been living in Pakistan since 2023. They were asked to speak to the judge in court, where the eldest said they were comfortable and the siblings were settled.

When told by the judge that the grandfather would become their guardian, the eldest responded saying "that's all good".
