Hillsborough police made 'suspects' in IPCC probe
Thirteen retired or serving police officers have been identified as "suspects" in the ongoing IPCC probe into the Hillsborough disaster

Thirteen retired or serving police officers have been identified as "suspects" in the ongoing IPCC probe into the Hillsborough disaster, the police watchdog revealed yesterday.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission said 11 of them had already been interviewed under caution relating a range of offences including manslaughter and perverting the course of justice.

The announcment came as coroner Lord Justice Goldring ruled yesterday that his inquest into the Hillsborough disaster will start on Monday as planned despite delays in getting some of the evidence.
