The jury's conclusions on the fresh Hillsborough inquests into the 96 deaths at Britain's worst sporting disaster will be delivered tomorrow.
Earlier today, Coroner John Goldring explained to the jury of six women and three men that he could accept a decision of 7-2 or 8-1 on the one remaining question they had not agreed on - the question as to whether the Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed.
The jury continued their deliberations before they returned and indicated that at least seven of them had reached a majority decision in respect of that question.
The jury forewoman has previously indicated to the court in Warrington that unanimous decisions had already been made on every other question they were posed.
The jury has been told to answer a general questionnaire of 14 questions as well as record the time and cause of death for each of the Liverpool fans who died in the disaster on 15 April, 1989.
These include questions about the police planning before the game, stadium safety, events on the day, the emergency services response to the disaster and a question about whether the fans were unlawfully killed.
Question six asks: "Are you satisfied, so that you are sure, that those who died in the disaster were unlawfully killed?"
The hearings have been ongoing for more than two years, with the jury having heard months of evidence from more than 800 witnesses.
Before they were sent out on 6 April to start their deliberations, jurors were told they could only answer 'yes' to Question 6 if they were sure that match commander Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield owed a duty of care to those who died in the disaster, and that he was in breach of that duty of care.
Thirdly, they would need to be satisfied that his breach of duty caused the deaths and, fourthly, that it amounted to "gross negligence".
