FOCUS TURNS TO CRIMINAL CHARGES OVER HILLSBOROUGH

Two separate criminal investigations into the Hillsborough stadium disaster of 1989 are now the focus after a jury decided 96 Liverpool fans who died that day were unlawfully killed.

Inquest decisions also pointed the blame at the police for the fatal crush at an FA Cup semi-final, and the two-year legal proceedings also heard evidence of a police cover-up.

Events are taking place in Liverpool to commemorate the 96 supporters who lost their lives.

But victims' families now want criminal charges to follow.
