Elle Edwards' dad told the ECHO Waring is 'just as guilty as the killer and should be punished accordingly'
Elle Edwards ' dad said it would be a "mockery" if an associate of her killer jailed for helping hide the murder weapon was released from prison early. Tim Edwards' daughter was an innocent bystander outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey when she was shot dead by gun thug Connor Chapman on Christmas Eve 2022.
The Ministry of Justice said anyone eligible for home detention curfew would have to pass a rigorous risk assessment before being considered for release. Speaking to the ECHO to raise awareness of Waring's case, Mr Edwards said the potential release "makes a mockery of the sentencing". The reason for Waring's potential early release has been cited as "significant issues with the prison population". Mr Edwards said the overriding emotion after receiving the Ministry of Justice's letter two weeks ago was anger.
The shooting of Ms Edwards came against the backdrop of a series of tit-for-tat attacks, as rival gangs separated only by the M53 waged a street war on each other. Fuel was well and truly on the fire when Jake Duffy and Kieran Salkeld, Chapman's rivals off the Beechwood estate, or Ford as it is known in the area, subjected a rival to a brutal assault captured on a Ring doorbell.
