Woman who had 'drinks poured on head' accused of 'tipping off' Elle Edwards suspect

A woman who had drinks poured on her head during a pub row was accused of passing on information to the man who allegedly killed Elle Edwards.

Connor Chapman, 23, allegedly fired 12 shots from a Skorpion sub-machine gun at a group of people outside The Lighthouse, Wallasey Village, shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve last year.

Elle, 26, was struck twice in the head, while five men were also wounded, including "intended targets" Kieron Salkeld and Jake Duffy. Chapman, of Houghton Road in Woodchurch, is on trial at Liverpool Crown Court accused of Elle's murder and the attempted murders of Salkeld and Duffy, plus wounding the three other bystanders and possessing the Skorpion and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
