Connor Chapman associate claims 'someone else' had phone when murder car burned out

The man accused of helping the alleged killer of Elle Edwards accepts his phone was present when a car used in her murder was burned out - but claims "someone else" was using it.

Thomas Waring, 20, admits a mobile handset attributed to him by detectives travelled to the remote location in Grassy Lane, Frodsham, where the scorched remains of the stolen Mercedes were found by a dog-walker.

However, he will claim he remained at his home address in Private Drive, Barnston, when the stolen car and a second vehicle, a silver Mercedes CLC, travelled "in convoy" to the Cheshire market town on New Year's Eve.
