Four more people have been charged in connection with the shooting murder of Elle Edwards, police have said.

Ms Edwards, 26, was an innocent bystander when Connor Chapman opened fire as he targeted two men in the culmination of a Merseyside gang feud.

A 42-year-old man from Wallasey, a woman and man from Woodchurch, aged 33 and 54, and a 33-year-old woman from Birkenhead have each been charged with assisting an offender.

They are due in court next month.

The suspects, who police said cannot be named for legal reasons, have been bailed and must appear before magistrates in Wirral on 15 January.

Ms Edwards, a beautician, was enjoying a night out with friends when she was shot outside the Lighthouse pub in Wirral.

Chapman, 23, was found guilty of her murder at Liverpool Crown Court and received a minimum sentence of 48 years.
