The sister of Elle Edwards has given a heartbreaking tribute to her 'big sister' and 'partner in crime' who was tragically shot dead in a Merseyside pub on Christmas Eve.

Ms Edwards, 26, was celebrating Christmas in the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey, a village near Liverpool, with her sister and friends when she was shot in the head at around 11.50pm.

The young beautician was not the intended target of the gunfire, which was understood to have been fired as part of a revenge hit gone wrong.

This afternoon, her younger sister Lucy Edwards, wrote an emotional tribute on social media, which said: 'I should not be waking up this morning on New Year's Day without you.'
