Christmas Eve pub shooting: Man charged with Elle Edwards murder – BBC

A man has been charged with the murder of Elle Edwards, who was shot at a Merseyside pub on Christmas Eve.
Connor Chapman, 22, of Houghton Road, Woodchurch, has been remanded in custody and will appear in court later.
He is also charged with two counts of attempted murder and three counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Ms Edwards, a 26-year-old beautician, was shot in the head at the Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey Village on 24 December.
Speaking five days after her death, her father Tim Edwards told how she would "light up a room".
"There was no-one as beautiful as our Elle May – her looks, her laugh," he said.
"She had this way about her that as soon as you met her, you just instantly fell in love with her, everyone that met Elle knew how special she was.
"She was only just getting started. Christmas and our family will never be the same again without her. She was the glue that held this big family together, from all of us."
Mr Chapman has also been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life and handling stolen goods, namely a Mercedes A Class, Merseyside Police said.
He is set to appear at Wirral Adult Remand Court.
A 23-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail.
Police are still appealing for witnesses and urged anyone with information to contact them.
