Judge furious at legal aid support
for killer of Leeds police officer

Pc Broadhurst’s family have previously spoken of their outrage after Bieber was granted thousands of pounds to aid his legal battle.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: “This Government has changed the rules so that legal aid solicitors will not be paid for completely unarguable cases like this.

“We are committed to spending taxpayers’ money wisely, and legal aid resources should only be available where really necessary. This is yet another example of why we are right to be making big changes to the system.”

The detective who led the hunt for Bieber described him as “the most manipulative and dangerous criminal I have ever experienced”.
