THE Hillsborough football stadium disaster has claimed its 97th victim — 32 years after the tragedy.

Liverpool football fan Andrew Devine died on Tuesday at the age of 55. He suffered life-changing injuries in the disaster, including brain damage.

Coroner Andre Rebello concluded at an inquest on Wednesday that he had been “unlawfully killed” — in line with a jury verdict at the 2016 inquest in Warrington into the other 96 deaths, held after a determined campaign by Hillsborough disaster families.
