The court heard evidence including disturbing injuries on Sara's body, found in a bunk bed, suggesting prolonged abuse involving multiple adults over a two-year period.
Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones KC indicated that the presence of makeshift hoods, a soiled nappy, and various potential weapons suggested that the abuse was systematic and involved several perpetrators.
Neighbours testified that they frequently heard cries and sounds of distress from Sara's home, with one stating that the silences following the noises were 'deathly quiet', indicating severe trauma.
The timeline reveals that Sara's death occurred shortly before her father contacted emergency services from Pakistan, admitting he had physically punished her too harshly.
