The man accused of the murder of Elle Edwards in a botched gang shooting told a jury "he did not want revenge" after learning a friend had been shot in the leg.
Connor Chapman, 23, who sat a couple of yards away from Elle's family in the public gallery, began giving evidence yesterday (Tuesday) in his trial at Liverpool Crown Court. He denies being the gunman who fired 12 shots at a group of people outside the Lighthouse Pub, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve last year.
Elle, 26, was struck twice in the head by bullets fired from a Skorpion sub-machine gun, while the killer's alleged "intended targets" - Kieron Salkeld and Jake Duffy - were seriously wounded. Three other men, described as "innocent bystanders", were also injured.
