The 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough football stadium disaster were unlawfully killed, a jury has concluded, finding Britain's worst sporting tragedy was partly down to police errors. Relatives had been incensed by a 1991 inquest ruling the deaths were accidental, and there were shouts of "Yes!" in court when the jury's verdicts were delivered, with people jumping to their feet. "We have had two years of hell going up and down to the court each day, but the only thing I can say at the end of it today: it has been well worth it," said Margaret Aspinall, whose 18-year-old son James died at the stadium in Sheffield, northern England.
