Criminals serving city's longest sentences as Connor Chapman jailed for 48 years

Connor Chapman was given a minimum of 48 years in prison after shooting Elle Edwards dead on Christmas Eve.

The 23-year-old shot Elle on Christmas Eve when she was celebrating with friends and family. The 26-year-old beautician was struck in the head and died almost instantly, while five men were also injured, one critically.

A jury of seven women and five men came to a unanimous decision on Chapman's guilt yesterday after three hours and 48 minutes of deliberation, following a three and a half week trial at Liverpool Crown Court. He was jailed for a minimum of 48 years for Elle's murder, the attempted murder of Salkeld and Duffy, wounding with intent of Mr Loughran and Mr Carr, assault occasioning actual bodily harm of Mr Speed and possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
