A police chief has vowed to be ‘relentless’ in the hunt to bring the killer of a woman gunned down outside a pub on Christmas Eve to justice.
Elle Edwards, 26, was shot in the head at the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village, a few miles from Liverpool, and was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Merseyside Police have said the beautician is not believed to have been the target of the attack.

On Monday evening, police confirmed a man and a woman had been arrested in connection with the ‘cold-blooded’ murder.
A 30-year-old man from Tranmere has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, while a 19-year-old woman from Rock Ferry has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Chief constable Serena Kennedy said in a statement released yesterday evening: ‘Detectives are continuing their investigations.
‘They will be relentless in their work to establish what led up to the incident on Christmas Eve and who was responsible for this sickening and heart-breaking incident, which has ruined so many lives and culminated in the loss of a beautiful young woman.’

Ms Kennedy branded Elle’s killers ‘cowards’, and said that they deserved to spend every Christmas behind bars.
‘The use of firearms, violence and intimidation has no place in our communities, and sadly we often see firearms being used to resolve petty and pathetic issues,’ she said.
‘These people are cowards, who think the only way to resolve an argument is through violence.
‘They don’t have the strength or resolve to work things out and stop things from reaching such an ugly and devastating conclusion.
‘Anyone involved in arranging this shooting, pulling the trigger and supplying the gun deserves to see every Christmas from behind bars.’
