Connor Chapman, 23, has been found guilty at Liverpool Crown Court of the murder of Elle Edwards, who was shot outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, Wirral, on Christmas Eve last year.
Gunman Chapman opened fire with a Skorpion sub-machine gun outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, Wirral, Merseyside, shortly before midnight on December 24 last year. The jury in the three-and-a-half week trial was told the gunman fired 12 shots from the weapon, which is capable of discharging 15 rounds a second, before driving away in a stolen Mercedes.
Jurors were sent out to start deliberations shortly after 11am on Thursday and came back with a guilty verdict just after 3pm.
