The family of a young woman shot dead in her own home have spoken of their "living nightmare" on what would have been her 29th birthday.
Ashley Dale was killed at around 12.40am on August 21 after a gunman burst through the front door of her home on Leinster Road, Old Swan, and fired multiple shots "indiscriminately". The Knowsley Council civil servant was hit in the abdomen and collapsed in her back yard, where she was spotted by a neighbour.
As yet, no-one has been charged with her murder. Today her devastated family called for help in bringing her killer to justice - and shared their pain ahead of an "unbearable" Christmas without Ashley.
