The jury in the trial of Connor Chapman has been asked to return on Monday after unforeseen circumstances disrupted proceedings today.
The 23-year-old is on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of the murder of beautician Elle Edwards in a botched gang shooting outside the Lighthouse pub, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve last year.
Elle, 26, was outside the front entrance smoking a cigarette and chatting when a man who had been loitering in the car-park fired 12 shots from a Skorpion sub-machine gun. Elle was struck twice in the head, while the gunman's alleged "intended targets - Kieron Salkeld and Jake Duffy - were seriously wounded.
