Andy Brennan pledged that everyone behind Sharon Beshenvisky's death would be brought to justice.
Sharon Beshenivsky had been a PC for less than a year before she was murdered in Bradford in November 2005Almost 20 years after PC Sharon Beshenivsky was shot and killed on her daughter's fourth birthday, the last member of the armed gang responsible for her death has been found guilty of her murder.
Before the fatal shooting in Bradford city centre earlier that evening, PC Beshenivsky had been coming to the end of her shift and was soon due to head home to join the birthday celebrations for the couple's little girl. PC Beshenivsky, a 38-year-old mother of three as well as two stepchildren, had been an officer for just nine months when she was gunned down in a raid at the Universal Express travel agents.Her colleague, Teresa Milburn, then 37, was also shot and seriously injured at the same time, though she survived the attack.
A third man, Faisal Razzaq, was cleared of her murder but found guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 11 years. Back in 2006, when Mr Brennan was piecing together the investigation, detectives built a picture that showed Khan was the mastermind behind the plot. "I was meeting them on a weekly basis to say, this is the position we're in, these are the individuals we want back.
Mr Brennan describes Khan as a "very dangerous man" who was "incredibly greedy" and "entirely responsible" for what had taken place.
