Piran Ditta Khan, 74, is charged over the fatal shooting of the police officer in Bradford.
A man accused of killing PC Sharon Beshenivsky in Bradford 18 years ago has pleaded not guilty to her murder.
Piran Ditta Khan, 74, is charged over the fatal shooting of the officer on 18 November 2005 as she and a colleague responded to reports of a robbery. Mr Khan, who was extradited from Pakistan in April, appeared at Leeds Crown Court, where he denied a charge of murder and four firearms offences.The court heard two firearms charges related to the alleged possession of a Mac 10 submachine gun and a 9mm pistol.The charge relating to the submachine gun states it was allegedly "designed or adapted so that two or more missiles could be successfully discharged without repeated pressure on the trigger", the court was told.
During the hearing, Mr Khan pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery on the same day as PC Beshenivsky died. This related to robbing Mohammed Yousaf of a quantity of cash. The judge, Mr Justice Hilliard, who appeared by videolink from the Central Criminal Court in London, remanded Mr Khan in custody until his next hearing.Her colleague, PC Teresa Milburn, was seriously injured in the attack, but survived.
