TWO cops accused of failing to properly investigate the Hillsborough disaster aftermath will not face charges, it has emerged.

But it added evidence was lacking that this was deliberate — and “insufficient to reach the high threshold required to prove a criminal offence”.
Six men will face charges over the crush which killed 96 Liverpool fans in Sheffield Wednesday’s ground as the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest began on April 15, 1989.
They include match commander David Duckenfield.
