Inquests into the deaths of 96 victims of Hillsborough disaster

Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall has joined forces with the MP Andy Burnham to demand a number of changes to the criminal justice system.

They want ordinary people to have the same legal funding as the police in cases where officers are involved.

Our Hillsborough correspondent Andy Bonner reports.

After a momentous week for the Hillsborough families, tonight the 1996 Jimmy McGovern film will be shown again on ITV.

The controversial drama documentary was credited with giving the impetus to the families' campaigning which finally led to a change.

Mel Barham reports:-

Candles representing each life lost at the Hillsborough disaster have been lit at St George's Hall in Liverpool.

Today, 27 years on since the disaster the families of those who died will find out if their loved ones were unlawfully killed.

The jury in the Hillsborough inquests will return to court today to deliver their conclusions into the deaths of 96 fans. The jury of six women and three men will give their decisions from 11am.

Verdicts have been reached at the inquests into the 96 men, women and children who died following Hillsborough.

But we'll have to wait until the morning to hear what the jury has decided.

That's to allow the families of those who lost their lives after the disaster in 1989 to attend.

News of the verdicts came soon after the Coroner said he would accept a majority decision on whether the Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed.
