The British High Court has quashed the original accidental death inquest verdicts returned after 96 Liverpool football fans died in the crush at Hillsborough 23 years ago.

The Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge and two other judges in London have ordered fresh inquests following an application by the Attorney General Dominic Grieve.

Meanwhile, the British Home Secretary has announced a new police investigation into the disaster, headed up by former Durham Chief Constable Jon Stoddart.

It follows a report from an independent panel which revealed a cover-up, and attempt to shift the blame for the tragedy onto the victims.
