A woman who was shot dead while celebrating Christmas Eve with friends at a pub in Wirral was a “wholly innocent bystander” caught up in a gang feud, a court has heard.

Connor Chapman, 23, is on trial at Liverpool crown court charged with the murder of Elle Edwards, 26, who was on an “enjoyable night out” with friends at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village on 24 December last year.
