'Coward' Thomas Waring jailed for nine years for helping Connor Chapman after Elle Edwards murder

Thomas Waring has been jailed for nine years for his role in helping Connor Chapman after the murder of Elle Edwards.

Chapman will spend at least 48 years behind bars after opening fire outside The Lighthouse pub in Wallasey on Christmas Eve. The 23-year-old fired 12 shots from a Skorpion submachine gun shortly before midnight, killing beautician Elle Edwards.

Following the shooting, Chapman fled to Waring's house where CCTV showed the killer, with distinctive long hair, appearing to drop the gun on the pavement as he walked towards the address.
