An inquest has been opened into the death of a policewoman allegedly murdered by a Burnley man.

The inquest into the death of PC Sharon Beshenivsky was yesterday adjourned in Bradford.

PC Beshenivsky, 38, a mother of five, was killed when she was shot in the chest while attending an armed robbery in the city centre in November.

Her colleague PC Teresa Milburn, was also shot in the shoulder.

Burnley-born Muzzaker Imitiaz Shah, 24, and Yusuf Jama, 19 will both face trial later this year charged with the PC's murder, robbery and firearms offences.

Police still want to trace Jama's brother, Mustaf Jama, 25.
