‘Quiet village' must ‘come together’ after tragedy of Christmas Eve shooting

The Wallasey community must “come together” as it faces up to an “out of character” and “abhorrent incident” which saw Elle Edwards fatally shot on Christmas Eve.

Tributes have continued to grow in number outside The Lighthouse in Wallasey Village where the 26-year-old beautician suffered a serious gunshot injury to the head three nights ago. Elle, who was not believed to be the victim of a targeted attack, was taken to Arrowe Park hospital but later died. Four men were also hospitalised with gunshot wounds.

A police presence remained outside the pub today, Tuesday December 27, as officers continued their investigations. Yesterday, Merseyside Police confirmed a 30-year-old man from Tranmere had been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. A 19-year-old woman from Rock Ferry has also been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
