In Britain, they don’t get it………… Criminals who miss use firearms should NOT be out on bail, but in Britain as in Canada and elsewhere, they would rather have gun control than criminal control….. yep , let’s blame the innaimate objects and ban them all !!!! that works ———– NOT!

Gunmen were on police bail when they killed WPc

————————————————————————

TWO of the killers of Pc Sharon Beshenivsky were on police bail for
suspected firearms offences when she was shot dead during an armed raid
on a travel agency, it was disclosed yesterday.

Muzzaker Shah and Faisal Razzaq, both 25, were arrested, questioned and
released pending further inquiries in connection with an unrelated
incident the previous year.

They had convictions for robbery and Shah for carrying a firearm but,
under time limits for holding suspects, had to be released unless
sufficient evidence was available to charge them.

Details of the alleged offences cannot be reported for legal reasons.

The next police heard of them was when they emerged as suspects in the
shooting of Pc Beshenivsky at a travel agency in Bradford on Nov 18 last
year.

Shah, a British-born Asian, and Yusuf Jama, 20, a Somali refugee, were
warned yesterday they could spend the rest of their lives in prison
after being convicted of her murder.

They must serve at least 35 years before they are considered for parole
after the point-blank shooting of the unarmed officer.

Passing life sentences, Mr Justice Andrew Smith told them at Newcastle
Crown Court: “You may never be released.”

Shah gave a defiant gangster-style hand gesture as he was led from the
dock.

Razzaq, who acted as a “look-out and pathfinder” during the raid on
a
travel agency, was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 11 years
after being convicted of manslaughter, robbery and firearms offences.

Pc Beshenivsky, 38, was half an hour from the end of her shift with Pc
Teresa Milburn when they responded to a panic alarm call. They would
have been within their rights to leave the call to other colleagues.

Pc Beshenivsky had switched her shift so she could be at home to hold a
party for her daughter Lydia’s fourth birthday that evening on Nov 18
last year.

As the two officers approached the door of the Universal Express
premises, they were confronted by two men bursting out – one armed with
a 9mm pistol and the other with a Mac 10 sub-machinegun.

Pc Beshenivsky died instantly from a bullet through the heart while her
colleague was seriously wounded after being shot through the chest.

Although Jama claimed in evidence that his finger was on the trigger, Pc
Milburn remains convinced that Shah fired the shots.

She has since returned to working, on reduced six-hour shifts, and
joined Pc Beshenivsky’s husband Paul, 44, a landscape gardener, in court
to hear the sentencing.

Sitting behind them, with a row of police officers in between, were
members of the killers’ families.

Jama’s brother Mustaf, 26, is still being sought by police on suspicion
of the murder and is believed to have fled Britain for his native
Somalia a year ago. One theory is that he stole his sister’s passport
and wore a Muslim veil as a disguise to get through checks at Heathrow.

Detectives are also hunting Piran Ditta Khan, 58, a Pakistani who ran
takeaway food businesses in London and Aberdeen, who is thought to have
masterminded the bungled robbery in which pounds 5,400 was stolen. Pc
Milburn, 38, who is married with a teenage son, sobbed as the court
heard how she was continuing her duties with “courage and resolution”.

Speaking after the case, Pc Milburn said she would always have to live
with what had happened.

She said: “I can remember every second like yesterday and it is
something that will never leave me. It is something I have to learn to
live with.”

Pc Milburn joined the West Yorkshire Police in April 2004 after spending
several years working as a seamstress.

She described Pc Beshenivsky as “caring and compassionate” and said
she
was someone who made people laugh.

Smiling, Pc Milburn said: “Sharon was lovely. She was a genuine caring
compassionate person. She brought these qualities with her every single
day. She was a professional, enthusiastic police officer and she made us
laugh.

“Sharon was Sharon. I’ve got a lot of good memories of her.”

Pc Milburn said going back to work after the shootings was very hard.
“It has been very difficult but things take time and I am working on it
and I will continue to work on it,” she said.

She is now working six-hour shifts and easing herself back into her job.

“Physically I’m not too bad and I am getting there,” she said.
“I was
shot in the chest. Emotionally it is different.”

However, Pc Milburn said she was convinced that Shah shot her – despite
Jamma claiming in court that he was the gunman. “I know who shot us.
There was only me stood in that doorway with two other people and they
know. As I gave in evidence, I said who it was.”

Asked whether she was angry that no-one had been convicted of shooting
her, all Pc Milburn would say was that the robbery was a “joint
enterprise”.

“This was done as a joint enterprise and I was very lucky that day.”
Det Supt Andy Brennan, who led the investigation, said after the hearing
that his force, Mr Beshenivsky and Pc Milburn were all pleased with the
sentences.

He said: “My hope is that they will act as a deterrent for anybody who
contemplates carrying weapons for robberies. Shah and Jama are
incredibly dangerous and ruthless and I believe they would continue to
commit crimes if they were free.”

Shah, from London, admitted murder, robbery and firearms offences, but
was acquitted of the attempted murder of Pc Milburn on the directions of
the judge.

Jama, of Small Heath, Birmingham, was convicted of murder and possessing
firearms with intent and admitted robbery and two other firearms
offences.
