A woman was arrested in connection with the murder of Ashley Dale after three others were released on bail.
The 48-year-old is the fourth person detained over the brutal shooting that saw 28-year-old Ashley gunned down in her Old Swan home. Ashley, an environmental health officer at Knowsley Council, died after a gunman forced his way into her home and fired multiple shots "indiscriminately" in the early hours of Sunday, August 21.
Ashley was found lying in the back yard of her house on Leinster Road with a gunshot wound to the abdomen after neighbours raised the alarm. So far two men, aged 25 and 27 and from the Liverpool and Dovecot areas, have been arrested on suspicion of Miss Dale's murder and later released on bail. A 21-year-old Liverpool woman was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and bailed.
