On November 18, 2005, two women police officers answered what they considered to be a routine false alarm call in Bradford. When they arrived, they were both shot. Teresa Millburn survived. Just. Sharon Beshinivsky didn't, becoming the first female officer to be murdered in the line of duty this Millennium. As well as a police officer, she was a wife and mother. November 18 was her youngest daughter's fourth birthday.
The documentary makers speak to those who knew her including her devastated husband and Teresa Millburn. The officer in charge of bringing the killers to justice is also given time to explain the hunt, and the extradition of Mustaf Jama who had fled to his native Somalia, a country he had previously claimed was so dangerous for him that he had to seek asylum in the UK. Days after the murder, Jama's brother Yusef had participated in the gang-rape of a woman in Birmingham; this earned him a 12 year sentence in addition to his 35 year tariff life sentence.
In short, these men were and are total scum. In addition to archive footage, this programme includes reconstructions, but nothing graphic.
