A man has been found guilty of the murder of Elle Edwards, who died after being shot outside a Wirral pub on Christmas Eve.
Connor Chapman, 23, fired 12 shots from a Skorpion pistol into a group of people outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, Wirral, Merseyside, shortly before midnight on December 24 last year. Beautician Elle, 26, was shot dead while five others were injured.
Today (Thursday July 6), Chapman was convicted of her murder, and seven other counts, following a three-and-a-half week trial at Liverpool Crown Court. Co-defendant Thomas Waring, 20, was found guilty of the possession of a prohibited firearm and assisting an offender by helping to burn out the stolen Mercedes used in the shooting.
