This is the moment a submachine gun killer who murdered a woman in a gangland hit gone wrong is arrested during a "romantic getaway" in Wales. Murderer Connor Chapman, 23, was tackled to the ground by police officers at a Tesco store in Newtown, Powys, more than a fortnight after he killed beautician Elle Edwards in a hail of bullets.
After the 26-yea-old was gunned down outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey on Christmas Eve 2022 killer Chapman escaped to Penllwyn Lodges near Montgomery, Powys, for what was described as a “romantic getaway” with his girlfriend having learned he was a wanted man. But police officers tracked him down and detained him as he bought shopping at the checkout in Tesco on January 10 last year.
CCTV footage from inside the supermarket, released by Merseyside Police, shows Chapman stood beside the till having unloaded several items from a basket. But Chapman is then grasped by two plain-clothed officers who wrestle him to the floor. Other officers then pile in to detain him, the Liverpool Echo reported.
