An ex-television producer has been ordered to pay two survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing £45,000 in damages after claiming it was staged by the government, in a civil ruling one of the victors said would “send a message to conspiracy theorists.”
High Court judge Karen Steyn awarded Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve £22,500 each on Friday after last month winning a harrassent case against Richard Hill, who claimed the pair were “crisis actors” in a state-orchestrated hoax.
