Former chief constable faces Hillsborough verdict

A report into alleged misconduct by former West Yorkshire Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison, in relation to the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, is expected today.

96 Liverpool football fans died in the crush at Hillsborough 23 years ago.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been investigating allegations he gave misleading information after the tragedy, at which time he was chief inspector with South Yorkshire Police.

Sir Norman has always denied being involved in any cover-up.
