An application to remove "unlawful killing" as a possible verdict in the forthcoming Stardust inquests has been denied by the coroner.
The application was made by the former club's manager, Eamon Butterly.
In a ruling issued today, coroner Dr Mya Cullinane said: "In any event, it is not within my power as a Coroner to investigate allegations of civil or criminal wrongdoing, although it is both my power and my duty to investigate acts or omissions which might in other settings be consistent with such allegations."
