Liverpool fans have been finally ‘exonerated’, club declares

Liverpool yesterday said their fans had been completely exonerated by the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report into the 1989 disaster.

The panel revealed South Yorkshire police had sought to blame fans by instructing officers to change or amend their statements relating to the events of April 15, 1989, when 96 Liverpool fans died.

British Prime Minister David Cameron apologised to the families of those affected, stressing to the House of Commons that the findings had shown fans were not at fault.
