Hillsborough Inquests

On April 26, 2016, a inquest jury sitting at Warrington concluded the 96 Liverpool FC supporters who lost their lives after a crush at Hillsborough were unlawfully killed. After a hearing spanning just over two years the panel also ruled the fans played no role in causing the April 15, 1989, disaster. The original verdict of accidental death was quashed in December 2012 following years of campaigning by families, survivors and supporters and the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report.
