The one-eyed suspect was accused of murdering PC Fiona Bone, 32, and PC Nicola Hughes, 23, in Manchester on Tuesday. Appearing at Manchester Magistrates’ Court, he was also accused of murdering Mark Short and his father David as well as four counts of attempted murder. He will appear at Manchester Crown Court on Monday.
