The mother of policewoman Fiona Bone's killer Dale Cregan has appeared in court accused of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.
56 year old Anita Cregan, and 25 year old Kathryn Smith, a Greater Manchester Police call handler, have been charged alongside Smith's boyfriend, Sean Booth.
All three entered not guilty pleas to all the charges.
Manx educated Fiona and her police colleague Nicola Hughes were killed by Cregan in Manchester last year in what was described as a gun and grenade attack.
