Drug dealer Connor Chapman was found guilty of the murder of Elle Edwards in a botched gang shooting on Christmas Eve last year.
“Wholly innocent” beautician and dental nurse Elle, 26, who had been enjoying a night out with her sister and friends, was struck twice in the back of the head as she sat perched on a raised wooden flower bed outside the Lighthouse pub, Wallasey Village. Five men were also injured, one critically, but all survived.
A jury of seven women and five men came to a unanimous decision this afternoon after three hours and 48 minutes of deliberation, following a three and a half week trial at Liverpool Crown Court.
