The dad of Elle Edwards says he has been supported by the families of other young people murdered in horrific acts of violence in Merseyside.
Tim Edwards told the ECHO he had shared brief conversations with the family of Ava White, the 12-year-old girl stabbed to death in Liverpool City Centre in November 2021, and Michael Rainsford, 20, who was shot in front of his family in Litherland in April, 2020.
Mr Edwards punched the air as his daughter's killer, gangland thug Connor Chapman, was convicted of her murder at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday following a three and a half week trial. Chapman, 23, sprayed a group of people with bullets from a sub-machine gun as they stood outside the Lighthouse Pub, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight last year.
