First photo of man who assisted gunman Connor Chapman after he shot Elle Edwards dead
Thomas Waring, the man who helped Connor Chapman after he fatally shot Elle Edwards outside a Wirral pub on Christmas Eve, has been pictured for the first time.Ms Edwards, a beautician, was enjoying a drink with friends on December 24 last year at the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey when she was gunned down with a sub-machine gun. Chapman shot the innocent 26-year-old twice in the head as she sat perched on a raised wooden flower bed outside the entrance, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Although the murder weapon was never recovered, an investigation revealed Chapman’s DNA in a mixed sample on a bullet casing found at the scene and on a red glove recovered from Waring’s home which matched one the gunman was wearing. A single particle of gunshot residue was also present on the glove.
Waring, who refused to give evidence in what the prosecution called “the ultimate in cowardice”, told his barrister William England to suggest to Chapman that he did travel to Waring’s house after midnight on Christmas Day, effectively shredding his defence after he said he was at home. Chapman was convicted of murder, the attempted murders of Salkeld and Duffy, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and assault causing actual bodily harm. Both Chapman, 23, and Waring were convicted after a jury of seven women and five men deliberated for three hours and 48 minutes at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, July 6.
