Illustration: Paul ScottThe five men and seven women jurors gathered an hour early on Wednesday morning to review answers provided by the coroner, Dr Myra Cullinane on Tuesday afternoon.

The jury foreman said in response they were satisfied, adding: “We still have some issues that we need ironed out so still need time”. Dr Cullinane said she would be available to them as they continue deliberations and would hear from them again in the afternoon.
