Four new arrests have been made in connection with the shooting of Ashley Dale in her own home.
Miss Dale, 28, died after a gunman forced open the front door of her house in Leinster Road, Old Swan, in the early hours of Sunday, August 21, and fired multiple shots "indiscriminately". Merseyside Police were called by concerned neighbours who heard shots and saw a woman lying on the ground in the back yard of the property.
Miss Dale, considered a "rising star" in her job as an Environmental Health officer at Knowsley Council, was pronounced dead a short time later. Her death came five days after the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Sam Rimmer in Dingle, and less than 24 hours before the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Dovecot.
