A coroner confirmed the body of murdered Elle Edwards can be released to her grieving family after post mortem exams were carried out.
An inquest into the shocking death of 26-year-old Elle was formally opened today at Gerard Majella Courthouse. The popular beautician and dental nurse, from New Brighton, was shot dead shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve, as she stood near the front entrance of the Lighthouse Inn, Wallasey Village.
A gunman, who the ECHO understands was waiting outside in a black Mercedes car for around an hour, fired multiple shots towards the crowded front entrance of the pub striking Elle and four other men, who survived their injuries.
