A civil servant who posted offensive comments about the Hillsborough disaster on Wikipedia while at work has been sacked.

The man, believed to be Merseyside-based, used the website to mock the victims of the 1989 Liverpool v Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final.

An inquiry was launched in April when it emerged Whitehall computers were used to make the disparaging comments.

The edits included the phrase "Blame Liverpool fans".

The 24-year-old junior administrator, who was born in London but is based in Liverpool, has been fired for gross misconduct.

He altered the Wikipedia page for Hillsborough in 2012. One entry parodied the Liverpool fans' anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" by changing it to "You'll Never Walk Again".

The BBC understands the Cabinet Office is likely to drop its probe into other abusive edits made to the online encyclopaedia from the secure government intranet, owing to a lack of leads.

The department described the posts as "sickening" but had feared the length of time since the edits, which were made in 2009 and 2012, would make it difficult to identify those responsible.

Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude is expected to make a statement in the House of Commons later about the investigation.
