Five appear in court facing Hillsborough criminal charges
The first steps towards figures of authority facing justice for their role in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 which saw 96 Liverpool fans die at the Sheffield Wednesday ground were taken yesterday when five men appeared in court on criminal charges relating to the tragedy.
Families of the victims packed the court to see the beginning of what could be the last act in the 28-year-long saga, which began when police opened the gates at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest and a crowd surge led to scores of fans being crushed to death.
