For the the families of the Ninety Six Liverpool fans lost in the tragic Hillsborough disaster, the road to justice had been long but worth it.
1989
The Hillsborough disaster took place during the 1989 F.A. Cup Semi-final fixture between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest where 96 fans were crushed to death in the stadium. The problem, however, was the police claim to fan behaviour being responsible for the tragedy which sparked a 27-year long inquest to unravel the mystery.
The inquest finally came to a conclusion today with the jury delivering a verdict of unlawful killing.
Teary-eyed families of the Hillsborough 96 declared with satisfaction that justice had finally been done with the jury's conclusion and feel the matter had been finally laid to rest.
The chief constable of South Yorkshire police, David Crompton, has tendered unreservedly apologized to victims’ families at the force’s headquarters in Sheffield, UK.
