Stardust inquests: Jury verdicts to be delivered on Thursday afternoon

When charging the jury last month Dr Cullinane set out a “two stage test” the evidence must meet to conclude a victim’s death was unlawful killing. Illustration: Paul Scott

Dr Cullinane told the jurors delivery of the verdicts would be postponed to allow administrative procedures be completed and to enable families make arrangement to attend in person or to observe online. After 10 full days of deliberations, Dr Myra Cullinane had called the 12-person jury shortly after 2pm on Wednesday and asked if they would be able to reach a verdict on which they all agreed. The foreman said: “No”.

They are tasked with establishing facts around the circumstances of the blaze, including whether issues such as carpet tiles which were used to line the internal walls, polyurethane foam in the seats and the low ceiling height in the area where the fire was first seen inside the venue, contributed to the deaths.
