MERSEYSIDE, UK: The authorities have arrested the third suspect in Elle Edwards' death, a beautician, who was killed in a deadly pub shooting on Christmas Eve. The suspect is a 31-year-old man who is currently booked on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. He was released on bail pending further inquiries, while two other suspects related to the horrific murder walked out on bail as well. On December 24, Edwards died in an open fire between two gang members in Wallasey, Merseyside.

The 26-year-old was enjoying her drink in the outdoor seating area of the Lighthouse Inn. The investigative team believes that the gunman was possibly tipped off that a man he had a scuffle with recently, was among the drinkers outside. With bullets flowing all over, one of them hit Edwards in the head and later she succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. There were other four men, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shootout, however, one remains in critical condition. Edward's parents wrote an emotional statement on her loss, "There was no one as beautiful as our Elle May, her looks, her laugh, and the way she would light up a room as soon as she walked in. She had this way about her that as soon as you met her you just instantly fell in love with her.”

It further added, "Her laugh was infectious, anyone who was around her had a good time, she loved her life and had so many amazing plans for the future. Christmas and our family will never be the same again without her. She was the glue that held this big family together. We will love and miss her forever. Our Elle May, the most beautiful and bright star out there, forever and always." Earlier, Dame Angela Eagle, Wallasey MP shared the sentiments of the family, "My thoughts are with the family of the woman who has died and those who are injured. Anyone with any information please tell the police," report The Sun.



 

Apparently, the pub released its official statement on the shooting as well, "Last night there was a tragedy beyond words in our pub’s car park. All our thoughts are with the friends and family of our customers and in particular, our hearts go out to the family of our customer who has lost her life.” It further read, “We are completely shocked by this and are also truly sorry that we can no longer go ahead with our Christmas Day bookings today. We have provided the police with CCTV footage and our priority is supporting everyone who has been impacted," as per MEAWW.
