Police are “relentlessly” hunting the killer of a 26-year-old woman who was shot at a pub on Christmas Eve and will target “anybody harbouring them”.

Elle Edwards was shot in the head at the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village, Merseyside.

Four other people were hurt, including a man, 28, who remains in hospital.

Dep Ch Con Ian Critchley said he “will not rest” until they find those responsible for “facilitating or harbouring” the killer.

Merseyside Police believe Ms Edwards was not the target of the attack.

Dep Ch Con Critchley described the shooting as “the most appalling and callous murder”.

He said: “We will not rest until we bring the offenders to justice, and by that I mean the person who pulled the trigger of the gun in the most indiscriminate way… anybody who was responsible for arranging, facilitating or harbouring this individual and anybody who continues to withhold information on who has done this or indeed where the weapon is.

“We will be tireless in our approach to find justice for Elle and her family.”
