Beautician Elle Edwards suffered ‘irrecoverable’ injuries in Christmas Eve pub shooting
PUB shooting victim Elle Edwards was hit twice in the back of the head, suffering “irrecoverable” injuries, a jury has heard.
Dr Christopher Johnson said attempts to resuscitate her at the scene and at hospital failed.
The beautician, 26, was shot last Christmas Eve outside The Lighthouse in Wallasey, Merseyside.
Connor Chapman, 23, of Birkenhead, is said to have sprayed 12 bullets from a sub-machine gun at gang rivals.
He admits his role in torching the stolen motor used in the attack.
But he says the Mercedes was borrowed by an associate on the night in question.
