Man pleads guilty to murder of Pc Beshenivsky
One of the five men accused of murdering Pc Sharon Beshenivsky, 25-year-old Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah, has pleaded guilty.
The other four defendants, Yusuf Abdillh Jamma, 20, Raza Ul-Haq Aslam, 25, Faisal Razzaq, 25 and his 26-year-old brother Hassan Razzaq, deny murder.
PC Beshenvisky, 38, was shot dead as she responded to a call to an alleged armed robbery at a Travel Agents in Bradford on November 18, 2005.
Following representation from media interests, the judge at Newcastle Crown Court, lifted an order which had prevented a guilty plea being reported. The plea was entered by Shah at a hearing on October 4.
Shah has also been charged with the attempted murder of Pc Beshenivsky's colleague, Pc Teresa Milburn, who was shot in the stomach. He denies the charge.
A jury of seven women and five men was sworn in on Monday and sent away while the legal argument was heard.
The opening of the case is expected to be heard on Thursday.
