Police issue update as crime scene around Lighthouse Pub lifted

Police have issued an update as the crime scene around the Lighthouse Pub has been lifted.

Merseyside Police have re-opened Wallasey Village in both directions following the shooting that killed 26-year-old Elle Edwards and injured four other men. The crime scene was lifted on Wednesday evening, four days after the traumatic incident that was witnessed by crowds of pub-goers.

A gunman fired multiple shots towards the front entrance of the pub on Christmas Eve, hitting Elle in the head. Police have confirmed the 26-year-old beautician was not believed to have been the intended target of the shooting.

Now, police have given an update to people who left their vehicles in The Lighthouse Pub car park.

A spokesperson from the force said: "The Lighthouse Inn pub, Wallasey Village and the carpark have been closed since Christmas Eve after a murder investigation was launched following the death of 26-year-old Elle Edwards. We can now confirm that the road called Wallasey Village where the Lighthouse Inn pub is situated is now open in both directions.

"Owners who had left their vehicles at the Lighthouse Inn pub car park can now come and collect them. However, owners of vehicles will need to produce identification to officers to confirm that they are the rightful owner, and will be asked to provide their name, address, date of birth, and telephone number before their vehicle can be collected at the site."

A 30-year-old man from Tranmere who was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and a 19-year-old woman from Rock Ferry, arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, remain in custody.

Elle's sister-in-law, Kirby Fraser, created a GoFundMe page on Tuesday, December 27, to raise money for her family during this difficult time.
