Hillsborough inquests to be held in North West
Fresh inquests into the deaths of the 96 Hillsborough victims will be held in the North West of England, a coroner has confirmed.
Lord Justice Goldring said a search had now started “to locate suitable premises” in the region.
New inquests were ordered in December when the High Court quashed the original accidental death verdicts.
