Mustaf Jama, 29, was told he would serve at least 35 years for the murder of the mother-of-three. Jama was part of a gang that gunned down the popular officer and wounded her colleague, Pc Teresa Milburn, during the raid in Bradford in November 2005. Sentencing him, judge Mr Justice Openshaw said he was one of a "team of ruthless and dangerous men". Jama was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court following a re-trial after a jury failed to reach a verdict at a hearing in January.

He was finally brought back to the UK to face justice in 2007 after an undercover operation to smuggle him out of Africa.
