MPs set to debate cause of Hillsborough victim’s death
The mother of a Hillsborough disaster victim has reached 100,000 signatures on her online petition to get a coroner’s inquiry into the death of her son- meaning that it is eligible for debate in the House of Commons.
Anne Williams, 59, launched the online campaign to get justice for her son Kevin, who died at the age 15 in the tragedy. Inquests found that Kevin died from traumatic asphyxia, though his mother refutes that ruling.
“Kevin did not die from traumatic asphixia or in an accident,” she said. “I will not pick up his death certificate until we get the course of death put right and the accidental death verdict struck down.”
Anne Williams claims that her son “does not relate” to an original ruling by coroner Dr Stefan Popper that all Hillsborough victims had died by 3:15pm. “I want the Attorney General to look at the evidence again and send Kevin's case back to the divisional court recommending a new inquest into the death of my son,” she said.
Her campaign for 100,000 signatures had the online backing of Liverpool FC, Kenny Dalglish and Wayne Rooney.
The Hillsborough disaster claimed 96 lives as hundreds of fans were crushed, with “failure of police control” blamed by the subsequent Taylor Report into the calamity.
