Piran Ditta Khan, accused of the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky in Bradford 18 years ago, has pleaded not guilty to the charges at Leeds Crown Court. The 74-year-old faces allegations related to the fatal shooting of the officer on November 18, 2005, as she and a colleague responded to reports of a robbery.

Mr. Khan, who was extradited from Pakistan in April, appeared in court where he denied the charge of murder and four firearms offences. The firearms charges involve the alleged possession of a Mac 10 submachine gun and a 9mm pistol, with additional charges for possession of a prohibited weapon for each firearm.
