A nine-man jury determined on Tuesday that the 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at the Hillsborough disaster were victims of unlawful killing.
The Times' Matt Dickinson provided the jury's verdict from the Warrington hearing, bringing an end to the longest inquest in British legal history:

Jurors had been asked to assess a 14-section questionnaire regarding the events that took place on April 15, 1989. The panel, consisting of six women and three men, per BBC News, came to a unanimous decision on 13 of the 14 points, returning a majority verdict on the final one, which asked whether the supporters were unlawfully killed.
