She died after being shot outside of a pub on the Wirral on Christmas Eve

Merseyside Police have arrested a 22-year-old man from Wirral on suspicion of the murder of Elle Edwards outside a Wallasey pub on Christmas Eve.

A 23-year-old woman from Wirral has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, police said, bringing the total number of arrests in connection with the shooting to five.

A 30-year-old man from Tranmere was previously arrested on suspicion of the 26-year-old beautician’s murder. He was recalled to prison on licence.

Detective Superintendent Sue Coombs said: “This brings the number of arrests in connection with the tragic death of Elle to five.

“Although extensive work is going on from our dedicated teams across Merseyside Police and a great deal of intelligence has come in, I would still ask that anyone who has information and has yet to come forward, does so.

“If they don’t want to speak to police directly then please get in touch with Crimestoppers where information can be given in confidence.”
