Attorney General to consider new inquest
The Attorney General has agreed to consider whether an application should be made for a new inquest to be held over the death of Kevin Williams at Hillsborough.
The 1991 inquest into the 15-year-old's death returned a verdict of accidental death and ruled that all the victims were dead by 3.15pm.
But the government's main legal adviser has said he will look at the original applications to see whether it is now time to order a new inquest.
Kevin's mum Anne, who received support from more than 100,000 people who signed an e-petition during the week, claims that her son was still alive at 4pm and his injuries did not comply with the verdict that victims died of traumatic asphyxia.
An Attorney General's Office spokesperson said: "Although this matter has been considered before, the Attorney General has agreed that he will look at the applications made to his predecessors, to determine whether in his view, the evidence available supports an application to the Court for a new inquest."
Anne is hoping that the case can be heard and debated in the House of Commons.
She said: "The reason for the e-petition was to get it debated in parliament so that the Attorney General and the public can see the evidence. They will see the cover up if it is heard in parliament and that's why my MP is pushing for a debate on it."
