Piran Ditta Khan, known to his accomplices as 'Uncle', is the final member of the gang to be convicted over the raid after he fled to Pakistan.
PC Sharon Beshenivsky had only been a police officer for nine months when she responded to an alarm call at a travel agent in Bradford on the afternoon of 18 November 2005. ' didn't have a chance,' said her colleague PC Teresa Milburn, then 37, who was a few steps behind as they arrived unarmed at Universal Express in Morley Street.
He did not leave the safety of the Mercedes SLK, said to have been used as a lookout car, as three men, dressed smartly to avoid suspicion, were let into the travel agent through an electronic door. One carried a laptop bag containing at least one loaded pistol and a machinegun, as well as a large knife and cable intended for tying up staff members, prosecutors said.
