A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering Elle Edwards in a Christmas Eve pub shooting on the Wirral.
The 26-year-old beautician was shot in the head at the Lighthouse in Wallasey Village as she celebrated with friends and died later in hospital.
Merseyside Police have said they did not believe she was the intended target of the attack.
On Wednesday, police said they had arrested a 22-year-old man from Wirral on suspicion of her murder.
A 23-year-old woman, also from Wirral, has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, bringing the total number of arrests in connection with the shooting to five.
A 30-year-old man from Tranmere was previously arrested on suspicion of the 26-year-old beautician’s murder. He was recalled to prison on licence.
Detective Superintendent Sue Coombs said: “This brings the number of arrests in connection with the tragic death of Elle to five.
“Although extensive work is going on from our dedicated teams across Merseyside Police and a great deal of intelligence has come in, I would still ask that anyone who has information and has yet to come forward, does so.
“If they don’t want to speak to police directly then please get in touch with Crimestoppers where information can be given in confidence.”
Ms Edwards died from a gunshot wound in her head after several shots were fired at the entrance to the pub.
