Man charged with murder of Elle Edwards on Christmas Eve

Detectives have charged a man with the murder of Elle Edwards in Wallasey on Christmas Eve.

Connor Chapman, 22, of Houghton Road, Woodchurch has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder and three counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life and handling stolen goods, namely a Mercedes A Class.

He has been remanded in custody to appear at Wirral Adult Remand Court today, Friday 13th January.

A 23-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

At her inquest at Liverpool’s Gerard Majella Courthouse, coroner Anita Bhardwaj said her death was “tragic”.

She added that gunshot wounds to the head had been given as a provisional cause of Ms Edwards’ death.

Ms Edwards, who police have said was not the target of the attack, died after several shots were fired towards the entrance of the pub.

Four men were also injured in the incident, including a 28-year-old who was critically hurt. Merseyside Police have said his condition was no longer life-threatening.
