London: The head of the police in charge at the 1989 Hillsborough football stadium disaster in which 96 people died said Tuesday the force got it "catastrophically wrong" as he apologised "unreservedly".
South Yorkshire Police Chief Constable David Crompton said the force "unequivocally" accepted the findings of an inquest jury which concluded Tuesday that the victims had been unlawfully killed following gross negligence by police.
"I want to apologise unreservedly to the families and all those affected," he said.
