In March 2023, five months before Sara’s body was discovered at the family home in Woking, Surrey, Sara’s teacher noticed a bruise on her chin along with a “dark bruise like mark on her right eye”. | |
Sara said that her eye was just very itchy and the mark on her chin was from falling on her rollerskates. | |
The 10-year-old was later spoken to by the headteacher and asked if she was ok. | |
