A man has been extradited from Pakistan and charged with the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
PC Beshenivsky was gunned down while responding to a robbery at a travel agent in Bradford in November 2005.
The 38-year-old had only served nine months with West Yorkshire Police when she died.
Piran Ditta Khan, 74, has been extradited to the UK and charged with murder, robbery, two counts of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and two counts of possessing a prohibited weapon.
He has been remanded into custody to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
Khan was arrested by police in Pakistan in January 2020.
Two men, Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah and Yusuf Abdullah Jamma, have previously been sentenced to life over the shooting.
PC Beshenivsky was killed on her daughter’s fourth birthday.
Her colleague, PC Teresa Millburn, was seriously injured in the same incident.
Bradford came to a standstill for her funeral, when hundreds of officers lined the route of the cortege, and a memorial was later unveiled at the scene of her death in 2009.
