Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

Faisal Razzaq, convicted of manslaughter for PC Sharon Beshenivsky's death, sold firearms to criminals after his 2017 parole.

Faisal Razzaq was convicted of manslaughter in 2006 for acting as the getaway driver in a robbery at Universal Express travel agents in Bradford on PC Sharon Beshenivsky's daughter's fourth birthday. He was sentenced to life with a minimum of 11 years. Razzaq was released on parole in 2017 and moved to Edgware in north London, where he began running a luxury car hire business. However, he spent much of his time obtaining firearms and selling them to criminal customers. He became one of six people sentenced for involvement in a firearms conspiracy that supplied weapons to gangs across London.

Razzaq previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell or transfer banned guns, possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life, and two counts of possessing a firearm and ammunition when banned. Harrow Crown Court heard that while serving his original sentence, Razzaq was imprisoned with Robert Dorey at HMP Ranby from 2013 to 2015. Dorey and his brother Ricky, both 44 and 45 respectively, obtained guns and passed them to Razzaq, who then sold them to criminals as part of the wider conspiracy.
