COPS have shared two new images of Sara Sharif as the probe into her shock death continues.
The 10-year-old was found dead in a bunkbed at her home in Woking, Surrey, on August 10.
The new images show the playful schoolgirl dancing in a field dressed in a blue hijab.
A second image, from a school photo, shows her smiling in a black hijab.
It comes as her stepmother Beinash Batool, 29, was pictured in a police van as she appeared at Guildford Magistrates' Court alongside Sara's dad Urfan Sharif, 41, and uncle Faisal Malik, 28.
The defendants, who spent more than a month in Pakistan following her death, are charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.

A post-mortem examination later found the youngster had suffered "multiple and extensive injuries" over a "sustained and extended" period of time.
The court heard her cause of death remains to be established, but she had "healed fractures" and injuries that "clearly demonstrate" the girl was subjected to "multiple events of violence".
She also died as a result of third-party involvement, the prosecution said.
The trio was arrested on Wednesday evening at Gatwick Airport as they disembarked a flight from Dubai.
Lawyers for the defendants indicated that they deny the charges and no application for bail was made.
The trio travelled to Pakistan a day before police discovered Sara's body.
Cops say they now want to "build a picture of her life prior to the discovery of her body".
They've urged anyone who knew Sara to come forward with information.
Detective Superintendent Mark Chapman, from the Surrey Police and Sussex Police Major Crime Team, said: “We have released these new images this week in the hope that it will prompt more people who knew Sara and her family to come forward.
“We are grateful to everyone who has already contacted us, and I would like to stress that any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem, is reviewed by the investigation team and further enquiries carried out if appropriate. I would urge anyone who may have information and hasn’t yet come forward to reach out to us.
