Two men have appeared before Leeds magistrates charged in connection with the murder of Pc Sharon Beshenivsky.

Adrian Robinson and Hewan Gordon are accused of assisting an offender between 27 November and 12 December, when they were arrested in Wales.

Pc Beshenivsky, 38, was shot during a robbery at the Universal Express travel agents in Bradford in November 2005.

Both Mr Gordon, 36, of Newport in Gwent and Mr Robinson, 23, of Colindale in London were granted conditional bail.

They were ordered to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 20 September.

Electronic tag

Mr Gordon was told he must reside at his address in Alexandra Road.

Mr Robinson, who is unemployed, was granted bail on condition that he was electronically tagged between 2100 and 0700 BST.

He was also ordered to report at a police station three times a week.

He was also ordered to reside at his mother's house on the Grahame Park estate and report to a police station three times a week.

Five men have been charged with Pc Beshenivsky's murder and are due to stand trial in Newcastle on 9 October.

Firearms offences

Yusuf Abdillh Jama, 19, Mussaker Imtiaz Shah, Raza Haq Aslam, Faisal Razzaq, all 24, and Hassan Razzaq, 25, have been charged with the Pc's murder.

Mr Shah, of no fixed address, is also charged with the attempted murder of Pc Teresa Milburn, who was shot and seriously injured during the raid, and three firearms offences. His co-accused face a robbery charge and four firearms offences.

Mr Jama is from Whitmore Road, Small Heath, Birmingham. Mr Aslam is from St Pancras Way, Kentish Town, north London.

War-torn Somalia

Faisal Razzaq and his brother Hassan are both from Sebert Road, Forest Gate, east London. Their trial is scheduled to last between eight and 10 weeks.

A sixth man, Mustaf Jama, a Somali national, is believed to have fled Britain after being named as a suspect by police.

Former colleagues of the Bradford policewoman reacted angrily when it was revealed in May that Jama had earlier been considered for deportation after serving a jail sentence.

The decision was taken not to return him to war-torn Somalia because of the dangers he faced there.
