When Connor Chapman's own barrister read out his previous convictions in the trial for killing Elle Edwards, it took several minutes. Merseyside Police has a gallery of mugshots for the murderer, appearing older and with longer hair as the years roll on.
His name has been known to officers for the best part of a decade, possibly even longer, the Liverpool Echo reports. His most recent spell in prison came to an end last summer.
But on Christmas Eve, he gunned down a 26-year-old woman who was celebrating the festivities at a Wirral pub. He will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court today (July 7).
