The family of Elle Edwards have paid tribute to the 26-year-old as "someone you instantly fell in love with" as police have issued a plea to the public saying they "need answers".
Elle's grieving father Tim Edwards appeared during a press conference over the murder investigation at Merseyside Police headquarters in Rose Hill, Liverpool on Friday morning.
Mr Edwards was visibly upset as he sat, silent, while detective superintendent Sue Coombs read a statement on behalf of the family which remembered Elle as a "beautiful" and "bright" woman.
