Today’s verdict at Leeds Crown Court comes almost 20 years after PC Sharon Beshenivsky and a colleague interrupted a raid on a travel agent in Bradford.

She was shot at point-blank range. Six other men have already been convicted on a range of offences, but 75-year-old Piran Ditta Khan fled to Pakistan, where he’s been living until his extradition last year.
