Hillsborough jury can use 'unlawfully killed' inquest verdict

The jury at the Hillsborough inquests has been told one of its options is to consider whether the 96 victims of the disaster were unlawfully killed.

The coroner has begun summing up nearly two years' evidence into the disaster.

Sir John Goldring also told the jury it would be asked if "error or omission" by emergency services, match planners, football supporters and stadium design contributed to the 1989 disaster.
