More officers probed over Hillsborou­gh

-

Five more police officers are being probed over the Hillsborou­gh disaster, the Crown Prosecutio­n Service said.

The CPS expects to announce within the next three weeks whether charges will be brought against two suspects from West Midlands Police, the force that investigat­ed the aftermath of the 1989 tragedy.

The Independen­t Office for Police Conduct, previously known as the Independen­t Police Complaints Commission, is also reviewing evidence relating to three former South Yorkshire Police officers.

It is to make a decision on whether they will be referred to the CPS so criminal charges can be considered.
