Although 94 Liverpool supporters died at the match, one person died in hospital within the week and another died in 1993. The 97th victim Andrew Devin died in July 2021 and had suffered brain damage during the event and had never fully recovered. He is now remembered as the 97th.
now the battle continues to see Hillsborough law implemented into Government legislation so that disasters like this never happen again.
Liam Robinson spoke about how he feels the law would bring justice to all the families and victims of the cover up that proceeded the even.
The would that would enforce a duty of candour on state authorities and officers and private entities whose activities impact on public safety.
This would mean that cover ups like the Hillsborough disaster would never be possible without serious consequences to those in power.
Both the Liverpool city council and Liverpool MP’s Such as Ian Byrne are working towards this laws implementation.
