A 74-year-old man has been extradited from Pakistan and charged with the murder of a female West Yorkshire PC who was shot dead during a robbery in 2005.
Piran Ditta Khan arrived in the UK and was taken into custody at a West Yorkshire police station, the Crown Prosecution Service said.She was a mother to three children and two stepchildren, and had only served nine months on the force when she was killed.
A spokesperson for the CPS said the charges against Mr Khan were authorised in 2006, leading to the issuing of the extradition warrant. Joanne Jakymec, chief crown prosecutor for the CPS, said: A suspect wanted in connection with the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky in Bradford in 2005 has been extradited to the UK from Pakistan thanks to the continued hard work of prosecutors in the CPS's extradition and international units.
Khan has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday, April 13.
