Hillsborough jury can return majority decision on whether fans unlawfully killed

The jury forewoman has previously indicated to the court in Warrington that unanimous decisions had already been made on every other question they were posed.

The British jury in the Hillsborough inquests has been told it can return a majority decision on whether the 96 victims were unlawfully killed.

Coroner Sir John Goldring explained to the jury of six women and three men that he could accept a decision of 7-2 or 8-1 on the question if they could not all agree.
