The judges who oversaw family court proceedings involving Sara Sharif in the years before her death have been named following a Court of Appeal ruling.
Judges Alison Raeside, Peter Nathan and Sally Williams were all involved in proceedings related to the 10-year-old between 2013 and 2019.
Sara was placed in the home of her father, Urfan Sharif, and her stepmother, Beinash Batool, following the last of three sets of proceedings.
The 10-year-old was murdered by the couple at the same address in Woking, Surrey, in 2023.
Sharif and Batool were jailed for life last year.
The press was previously barred from reporting the names of the judges and other professionals involved in the case.
The High Court ruled they had “acted within the parameters that law and social work practice set for them”.
However, the Court of Appeal ruled last week that the media could name the judges in the interests of open justice.
It had heard that the three judges wanted to “convey their profound shock, horror and sadness about what happened to Sara Sharif”.
