All three appeared at the Old Bailey via video-link on Thursday and pleaded not guilty ahead of a trial in September next year. They also pleaded not guilty to causing or allowing the death of a child between December 16 2022 and August 9 2023. A previous court hearing was told that police found Sara’s body under a blanket on a bunk bed at her home after receiving a call from Pakistan, which lasted eight minutes and 34 seconds, at 2.47am on August 10. The court was also told the defendants had booked a flight to the country two days earlier. Prosecutors told the Old Bailey that Sara was found to have “a constellation of healed and healing injuries”.
