Man extradited from Spain & charged over ‘murder’ of Ashley Dale, 28, who was shot dead outside her home
A MAN has been extradited from Spain and charged with the murder of a council worker who was shot dead outside her home.
Ashley Dale, 28, tragically died in her Liverpool back garden on August 21 last year.
Five men had been charged with her murder until today when Ian Fitzgibbon, 28, was also nabbed by police.
Fitzgibbon, from St Helens, was brought back to the UK from Spain with the support of the National Crime Agency’s (NCA) National Extradition Unit.
The man, who faces a number of other charges, will appear in court tomorrow.
He is now the sixth man who will face a trial over the death of the 28-year-old.
Ashley was killed in what police believe was a case of mistaken identity.
The tragedy came just seven years after her brother Lewis Dunne was killed by drug dealers aged just 16.
He was also not the intended target of the shooting in a cruel echo of Ashley’s killing.
Following Ashley’s death, her heartbroken family said: “None of this makes sense and our lives will never be the same again.
“A senseless crime that has torn a family apart.”
