Hillsborough inquest: jury finds unlawful killing verdict.

Football fans at Swansea's game with Liverpool have paid tribute to the "justice for the 96" campaign, ahead of today's match between the two sides.

On Tuesday, an inquest concluded that the 96 Liverpool fans who were killed as a result of a crush at the Hillsborough football ground in April 1989, including two from Wales, died unlawfully.

It marked the end of a 27 year campaign from families of the victims to seek justice, as it was determined that the behaviour of the Liverpool fans on that day was not to blame.

Both sets of fans joined in a minutes applause, with team captains Martin Skrtel and Ashley Williams presenting a floral tribute to Barry Devonside, a man who lost his son Christopher in the disaster.

The families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster have fought for 27 years to find out exactly what happened that day. Today, the jury in the longest running inquest in British legal history found all 96 fans were unlawfully killed and that the behaviour of the supporters did not contribute to the tragedy.

The mother of one victim from Holywell in Flintshire said the 27-year wait for justice has been cruel. Our Correspondent Carole Green reports.

The jury in the inquest into the deaths of 96 people in the Hillsborough disaster has said the victims were unlawfully killed.

Question six of the 14 questions the jury were required to consider said: "Are you satisfied, so that you are sure, that those who died in the disaster were unlawfully killed?" The jury answered yes.

John McBrien, 18, and Steven Brown, 25, from north Wales, were among the 96 fans who died.

The jurors were told they could only reach that determination if they were sure of four "essential" matters concerning the deaths at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final:

• that overall match commander Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield owed a duty of care to those who died in the disaster
• that he was in breach of that duty of care
• that his breach of duty caused the deaths
• that it amounted to "gross negligence"

They concluded it was unlawful killing by a 7-2 majority.

The jury also ruled that fan behaviour did not cause or contribute to the tragedy.

The Hillsborough disaster unfolded during Liverpool's cup tie against Nottingham Forest on April 15 as thousands of fans were crushed at Sheffield Wednesday's ground.

A candle has been lit for each of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster, in a touching tribute on the day the family and friends of those victims will hear the results of an inquest into their deaths.

The jury has come to a unanimous verdict on 13 of the 14 questions asked at the inquest. The judge has said he will accept a majority verdict on the one remaining question - whether the 96 fans were killed unlawfully.
