South Yorkshire Police: No MacKenzie apology.

Friday, September 28th 2012 01:00

South Yorkshire Police have refused to apologise to former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie over the Hillsborough disaster.

He'd written to them demanding an apology saying he was fed a pack of lies by the police and has suffered decades of "personal vilification".

In a response South Yorkshire Police said:

"SYP have received a letter from Kelvin MacKenzie's lawyers which demands the Force makes an apology to him. We have publicly apologised to the Hillsborough families and the Liverpool fans but we will not apologise to Mr MacKenzie. He chose to write his own headline and he should accept responsibility for it. Chief Constable David Crompton."
