Man in court accused of police murders

A man has appeared in court accused of murdering two police officers.

Police constables Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, who was laid to rest in Moray where she was brought up, were killed on September 18 in Hattersley, Greater Manchester.

Dale Cregan, 29, had previously pled not guilty to murdering the officers and to the murders of Mark Short, 23, in Manchester last May, and his father David three months later.
