The Home Secretary has announced a new police investigation into the Hillsborough disaster, as the Attorney General urged the High Court to quash the original inquest verdicts.
The new police investigation will be led by former Durham chief constable Jon Stoddart and will focus specifically on the 96 deaths of Liverpool fans at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989.
The move comes after a damning report from the Hillsborough independent panel laid bare a cover-up that attempted to shift the blame for the tragedy on to its victims.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "I am determined to see a swift and thorough response to the findings of the Hillsborough Panel to deliver justice for the 96 football fans who died and the families who have fought so hard on their behalf."
The Attorney General Dominic Grieve made his application to quash the original accidental death inquest verdicts to the Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge and two other judges in a packed London courtroom.
He had previously said the main basis for the move was new medical evidence, made public in the Hillsborough Independent Panel report published in September.
Many families of victims of the tragedy, who have campaigned to have the verdicts overturned, have travelled to the Royal Courts of Justice in central London.
The Liverpool supporters died in the crush at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989, when their team played Nottingham Forest.
