A mum described her heartbreak after her ‘soul mate’ was shot dead when she was nine weeks pregnant with their child.
Ashleigh Deans was texting Patrick Boyle just 25 minutes before he was shot twice in the chest outside someone’s home in Huyton on July 21 2021. He was shot twice by Rueben Murphy, 26, formerly of Barkbeth Road in Huyton who planned and organised the attack with Ben Doyle, 24 from Lyme Grove in Huyton.
Patrick’s partner Ashleigh told Liverpool Crown Court that the last text message he sent her said ‘he would be home soon’.
