Prosecutors say they're not pursuing nine other staff and five police officers initially suspected of contributing to the events.

17 year olds Morgan Barnard and Lauren Bullock, and 16-year-old Connor Currie died during the crush, as they queued to get into a disco at the Greenvale Hotel in 2019.

Meanwhile, it is expected that the company that ran the hotel, will be charged over breaching health and safety regulations.
