The funeral of Ashley Dale - who was shot dead in her own home in Old Swan last month (August) - has taking place this afternoon (Tuesday, 20 September).

The 28-year-old Knowsley Council worker was found in her back garden on Leinster with gunshot wounds to her abdomen on Sunday the 21st of August.

She later died in hospital from her injuries.

A number of people have been arrested in connection with her death, but so far - no-one has been charged.

Ashley's life was remembered in a service at Liverpool Cathedral at midday today (Tuesday, 20 September).

Speaking earlier this month, Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings said:

“Although progress is being made, I’d still like to urge anyone with information who has yet to come forward to do so as soon as possible. Please do not assume that what you know has been passed on by someone else, or that it is not significant enough to bring to our attention. I have a team of dedicated detectives who will make that assessment. Help us find justice for Ashley’s family, and for a community devastated by her loss.

“From extensive ongoing CCTV enquiries, we do know there were people walking close to the scene at the time of the offence. If this was you or someone you know, please come forward as you may, without realising, hold vital information to assist this investigation.

“Similarly, I would continue to ask taxi and delivery drivers if they were driving in the area between 12.20am and 12.40am and have dashcam footage to please contact us.”

"Please submit any information you have directly with our investigation team through our online portal. This will make sure that your information is received and acted on as quickly as possible by detectives.

"Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or via their online form."
