The mum of murdered Ashley Dale said her family now has "somewhere to take time out and remember" thanks to a poignant tribute from the 28-year-old's "devastated" work colleagues.
Julie Dale, 46, spoke to the ECHO in Court Hey Park, Huyton, where Knowsley Council have installed a memorial bench and a cherry blossom tree to "ensure her memory lives on". Ashley was killed on August 21 last year when a gunman burst into her home on Leinster Road, Old Swan, and fired "multiple shots indiscriminately" with a sub-machine gun.
Merseyside Police, who have said they do not believe Ashley was the intended target, have charged five men in connection with her murder and a trial is due to take place at Liverpool Crown Court in October.
