Detectives have charged a third man in connection with the murder of Ashley Dale in Old Swan last August.

Kallum Radford, 25, of no fixed abode, has today (Tuesday 31 January) been charged with assisting an offender.

He has been remanded in custody to appear at Wirral Magistrates Court tomorrow (Wednesday 1 February).

Two other men, James Witham, 40, of Ashbury Road, Huyton and Joseph Peers, 28, of Woodlands Road, Roby, have been charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent.

They've appeared before magistrates today and have been remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday.

At around 12.40am on Sunday, 21 August 2022, police were called to an address in Leinster Road following reports of concern for a woman at the property.

Emergency services found Ashley in the back garden with a gunshot wound to her body.

The 28 year old Knowsley Council worker was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later.

Police are urging anyone who hasn't already come forward with information, to pass this directly to their investigation team through their online portal.
