A commentary from Computer Beshenivsky’s public learn out of doors courtroom following the listening to stated: “November 2005 was the start of an almost 19-year journey. A journey seeking the truth and justice for Sharon, who was not just a police officer, but a loving mum, wife, daughter, sister, and a friend to many.“Our journey seeking justice and closure of the judicial process is now at an end. This journey has and continues to be difficult for us all. “Enduring several trials over the years has been hard, each one of them taking us back to the very beginning, which made us feel like we had lost Sharon all over again. And now we once again pick up the pieces of our lives and continue forward as Sharon would have wanted us all to do.”Associate Leading Constable Patrick Twiggs of West Yorkshire Police stated:“This is a day of mixed emotions. On the one hand we are pleased to get the final conviction in this case, but on the other hand we are sad as it has brought into sharp focus the completely unnecessary waste of life that day.“For 18 years we have never given up on getting justice for Sharon and Teresa, and today their families have received that justice.“Sharon was murdered in the line of duty, in what was a totally unnecessary act. Sharon was doing her job and protecting the public.“The pain and anguish of what happened on that day and the profound sense of loss, will come flooding back to her family, friends, Police and the local community. It was a day we will never forget.“We never gave up, we relentlessly pursued Khan even when things got tough, we never gave up.”
