Detectives have today arrested two men in connection with the murder of a 28-year-old council worker who was shot dead in Liverpool last August.
Ashley Dale lost her life after her killer forced open the front door of her house in Old Swan in the early hours of August 21, 2022, and fired multiple shots 'indiscriminately'.
Police arrived after being called by concerned neighbours who heard shots fired and saw a woman lying on the ground in the property's back yard. She was pronounced dead a short while later.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said: 'Two men, aged 40 and 28, from the Huyton area [of Liverpool], were arrested on suspicion of murder and possession of a firearm with intent.
