David Duckenfield: Admits lying about giving an order to open exit gates
The police chief at the Hillsborough disaster has admitted lying about giving the order to open exit gates at one end of the ground which resulted in Liverpool fans being crushed, causing 96 deaths.
Former chief superintendent David Duckenfield, the match commander at the game, had originally claimed fans had forced open the gates and piled on to the Leppings Lane terrace.
“It was a grave mistake and I apologise profusely," he told the inquest in Warrington.
"Everybody knew the truth, the fans and police knew the truth that we'd opened the gates."
