A community rallied around the family of Elle Edwards as they remembered her a week on from her murder.
Elle's mum and extended family gathered at the Holy Apostles and Martyrs Parish Church in Wallasey Village today, Saturday, December 31 to light a candle in her memory. The 26-year-old, described as "special" and "beautiful" in a family tribute, was shot in the head at the Lighthouse Pub shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve.
The beautician had been celebrating her sister's return from Dubai with friends when a gunman sprayed bullets into a crowded area outside the pub. Elle was not the intended target, detectives believe, and four other men aged between 22 and 33 were also wounded in the incident.
