| PC Fiona Bone and PC Nicola Hughes |
Police received a call, Tuesday morning, from a man who said his home had been burglarized.
Constables Fiona Bone, thirty-two, and Nicola Hughes, twenty-three, were dispatched to investigate.
Upon arriving at the residence they entered and were killed in a hail of gunfire, which was followed by a grenade exploding.
Other police officers arrested wanted fugitive Dale Cregan, twenty-nine, at the scene of the crime, and he is being held for the murders of the two constables.
Cregan was wanted for two previous murders that he was believed to have committed, he is formally being charged with those as well, bringing the count to four murders.
The two previous incidents, both involved Cregan using a gun, and in one a grenade.
His two other victims were David Short, who was killed in August, and his son Mark who was killed in May.
As is customary, the two constables were unarmed.
