Summary

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast from the north-west of England, I cover the devastating murder of Elle Edwards - an innocent young woman caught in the crossfire when gun violence erupted outside a busy pub.


What began as a normal night out ended in chaos within seconds, leaving a family shattered and an entire community searching for answers. Detectives launched a major investigation as CCTV footage, forensic evidence and witness accounts were pieced together to uncover exactly what happened. I explore the events leading up to the shooting, the hunt for the gunman and the court case that followed, in a case that shocked Merseyside and the wider UK.


I release episodes every Tuesday and Friday, so please join me on Tuesday for the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.
