England: Five more ex-officers probed over Hillsborough

Five ex-police officers could face charges in connection with their conduct at Hillsborough in 1989.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is reviewing evidence on two suspects from West Midlands Police, the force which investigated the aftermath of the disaster that killed 96 people.

Meanwhile, the Independent Office for Police Conduct is considering whether to refer three former South Yorkshire Police officers to the CPS for consideration of criminal charges.

Six people are already facing charges in connection to Hillsborough.
