Jurors at the inquests into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans at the 1989 Hillsborough disaster will deliver their verdicts on Tuesday, it was announced Monday.

Coroner John Goldring told the jury of six women and three men that he did not require a unanimous verdict on the one outstanding question they had still to agree on -- whether the Liverpool supporters were unlawfully killed -- and would accept a majority 7-2 or 8-1 decision.

The jury continued to consider the issue before returning to tell Goldring that at least seven of them had agreed on this point.

Their decisions are now set to be announced from 11:00am local time (1000 GMT) Tuesday.

On April 6, the jury, which has been sitting since March 2014 at a purpose-built courtroom in Warrington, northwest England, retired to consider 14 key questions set out by Goldring, after hearing more than two years of evidence.

Britain's worst sports stadium tragedy occurred on April 15, 1989 during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium in northern England.

Seeking to alleviate a crush that had developed outside the grounds at the Leppings Lane End shortly before kick-off, the police match commander opened an exit gate.

It enabled 2,000 fans to stream into the ground and they piled into the already over-full pens behind the goal at that end of the ground, causing a fatal crush.

The original coroner's verdicts of accidental death were quashed in 2012 after a campaign by victims' families led to the publication of a new report into the disaster.

The jurors heard evidence from more than 800 witnesses on subjects including stadium safety, match planning, the events of the day, the emergency response and evidence gathering by police after the disaster.

Under English law, an inquest exists solely to determine how the deceased came by their death and it cannot impose criminal sentences.

The final memorial at Liverpool's Anfield stadium for the 96 victims was held this month 27 years to the day since the disaster took place.

Families of the deceased unanimously agreed this year's service would be the last public event at Anfield in memory of the supporters who died.
