In a recent trial at Liverpool Crown Court, four individuals were acquitted of charges related to aiding Connor Chapman, who shot and killed 26-year-old Elle Edwards outside the Lighthouse pub on Christmas Eve 2022. The jury found that Roxanne Matthews, Danielle Dowdall, David Chambers, and Paul Owen did not assist Chapman in evading arrest or concealing evidence after the tragic incident, which also injured five others during a gang-related confrontation. The trial lasted four weeks and concluded with the jurors’ decision to clear the defendants of all charges.
