Channel 5 has confirmed a new series of its chilling true crime strand, with tonight's episode covering the killing of Elle Edwards, the 26-year-old beautician shot dead at a pub in Wallasey, Merseyside, on Christmas Eve 2022. Connor Chapman was later convicted of her murder. Viewers in the UK are discussing the case again as the programme drops.

Merseyside Police is making headlines after announcing a charge over a garage and warehouse fire in the region. Separate updates from the force cover the interception of two drug dealers in Wigan, described by officers as believing they were above the law, and an update on men arrested after an armed street brawl in St Helens.

Liverpool are reportedly planning to move soon for a player described as a 'special' sensation, according to Yahoo Sports. The report gives no further details on the player's identity or fee, but the Merseyside club are said to be keen to act quickly rather than wait for rivals. Fans and pundits are now speculating about who the target might be ahead of the next transfer window.
