David Chambers, Danielle Dowdall, Roxanne Matthews and Paul Owen were found not guilty by a jury after six hours and 20 minutes
Two men and two women have been found not guilty of assisting an offender in connection with the murder of Elle Edwards. The 26-year-old beautician died after being shot outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey , Wirral , shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve 2022. Connor Chapman was convicted of her murder in July last year and later jailed for life with a minimum term of 48 years.
Mr Owen was meanwhile said to have allowed the trigger man to borrow his Mercedes GLC in order to travel in convoy to a site off Grassy Lane in Frodsham with accomplice Thomas Waring, where the two men torched the stolen Mercedes A-Class which was used in the murder. His car was driven to a location near to outdoor activity centre Hover Force on false number plates after being collected from him at the Horse and Jockey pub in Upton on the evening of December 31 2022.
