What the jury heard in first week of Elle Edwards murder trial

The trial of Connor Chapman over the murder of Elle Edwards began this week at Liverpool Crown Court.

The 26-year-old beautician was shot dead outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village, Wirral, on Christmas Eve last year. Five other men - Kieran Salkeld, Jake Duffy, Harry Loughran, Liam Carr and Nicholas Speed - were also struck by gunfire and injured.

Chapman, 23, of Houghton Road in Woodchurch, denies being the gunman or murdering Elle. He has also pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of Salkeld and Duffy, wounding with intent against Mr Loughran, Mr Carr and Mr Speed and possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
