Police among six charged in UK over 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster
Four former senior policemen were among six people charged on Wednesday over the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster in England that killed 96 Liverpool football supporters.
Prosecutors said there was “sufficient evidence to charge six individuals with criminal offences” including manslaughter by negligence, perverting the course of justice and misconduct in public office.
The disaster occurred on April 15, 1989, during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, in Sheffield, northern England.
