The acting chief constable of South Yorkshire police, who on Wednesday replaced David Crompton following the Hillsborough inquest findings, has stepped down after it emerged her conduct at a previous force was being investigated.
South Yorkshire police force has been left without a chief constable for the second time in less than 48 hours after the Hillsborough inquest findings, as it emerged that its deputy chief constable Dawn Copley was appointed despite having declared that she was being investigated over her conduct with her previous force, Greater Manchester police (GMP).

Victims' families outraged after South Yorkshire Police officers told they 'did a good job' at Hillsborough

South Yorkshire Police officers who served in the 1980s have been told they "did a good job" in the wake of the Hillsborough inquests' damning verdicts.

The former editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, has told the BBC's Richard Lister he was "completely duped" over the facts about the Hillsborough disaster. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36146639
