Coroner tells jurors they could be sent out 'this week'

Published 4th Apr 2016

The coroner at the Hillsborough inquests in Warrington has told jurors he expects to send them out to consider their verdicts this week.

The hearings at Birchwood Park have been taking place for over two years. Sir John Goldring began summing up the case in January.

He told them: "I hope that either tomorrow or on Wednesday you will be able to retire to consider your decisions. I just give that indication."

Jurors will have answer a series of questions when deliberating their verdicts, including whether or not the 96 victims of the tragedy were unlawfully killed.
