The jurors in the Stardust Inquests have retired for the weekend without reaching any verdicts.

The seven women and five men on this jury have been deliberating since Wednesday and will resume their deliberations on Monday.

They must decide how 48 young people lost their lives in a fire at the Stardust Ballroom in the early hours of Valentine’s Day 1981.

They have five verdicts open to them which are accidental death, death by misadventure, unlawful killing, an open verdict or a narrative verdict.

The jurors have previously been told they are under no time pressure.

They came back this afternoon at 4pm after they informed the Coroner they have a question - which she said she will answer on Monday.
