Ashley Dale murder suspects Sean Zeisz and Niall Barry set to stand trial

Two men are set to stand trial later this year charged with the murder of Ashley Dale.

The 28-year-old died after being found unconscious in the back yard of her home on Leinster Road, Old Swan, shortly after midnight on August 21 last year. Detectives said a gunman had burst through her front door and fired multiple shots "indiscriminately", one of which had struck the Knowsley Council environmental health officer in the abdomen.

Merseyside Police previously said detectives do not believe she was the intended target of the shooter, although it is thought that the "address was targeted". Two men - 26-year-old Niall Barry, of Moscow Drive in Tuebrook, and 27-year-old Sean Zeisz, of Longreach Road in Huyton - were charged with her murder on Monday.
