Robbery mastermind found guilty of Pc Beshenivsky’s murder

Piran Ditta Khan, 75, has been found guilty of the murder of police constable Sharon Beshenivsky at Leeds Crown Court.

Khan, who spent almost 15 years on the run before being brought to justice, planned the raid that ended in Pc Beshenivsky being shot dead, and her colleague Pc Teresa Milburn seriously injured, his trial was told.

The two officers were gunned down as they responded to the robbery at family-run Universal Express travel agents in Bradford in November 2005.
