Piran Ditta Khan, 75, had spent more than a decade on the run after masterminding the robbery which saw heroic PC Beshenivsky shot and killed at 'almost point blank range' in 2005.
This is the extraordinary moment police hunting the killer of PC Sharon Beshenivsky finally caught their man - and locked him in a cell.
He was finally arrested in Pakistan in 2020 after years of legal wrangling before being dragged back to Britain last April to face justice. PC Sharon Beshenivsky was fatally shot in November 2005 as she and her colleague responded to a report of a robbery in Bradford, West Yorkshire Wearing a navy blue Nike tracksuit, the father-of-six appears to limp as he is escorted through the police station.
A year after the footage was captured, and Khan was finally convicted of the murder of PC Beshenivsky - 19 years after the brave officer was killed. The court heard Khan, who had picked the business as a suitable cash-rich target, was parked nearby and gave the go ahead. The three gunmen who went into the agency, armed with a sub-machine gun, pistol and knife, were jailed for murder.
He said: 'Going back to 2005 on the day this happened, I met Paul Beshenivsky and his family and gave a commitment that we would find everybody involved and they would be brought before the courts.' Mr Brennan retired from the force in 2014, moving on to the National Crime Agency, knowing the 'planning and preparation' had all been done and he was confident in due course that efforts at government level would result in his extradition.
