He has also been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life and handling stolen goods, namely a Mercedes A Class.

Chapman, of Woodchurch, Merseyside, has been remanded in custody and will appear in court on Friday.

Elle, 26, was shot in the head in the beer garden of the Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey on December 24.

The beautician, who was out celebrating with friends, was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Four men were also injured during the attack.

Elle’s dad Tim Edwards previously said everyone that met his daughter “knew how special she was”.

Last night cops said a woman, 23, has been released on bail after she was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
