Two men and two women who were accused of helping the gunman who killed Elle Edwards have been found not guilty of assisting an offender.

Connor Chapman fired a machine gun outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village in Wirral as part of a gangland row on Christmas Eve 2022.

Mrs Edwards, 26, an innocent bystander, was killed and five men were injured.

Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court cleared Roxanne Matthews, Danielle Dowdall, David Chambers and Paul Owen of helping Chapman avoid arrest and concealing evidence after a four-week trial.
