In response to Ashley Dale, a graduate council employee, being fatally shot, police have today detained a man and a woman.
According to detectives, a man has been detained on suspicion of killing the 28-year-old on Sunday in Liverpool. Additionally, a lady has been detained on suspicion of helping a criminal.
Ms. Dale was shot and killed early on Sunday outside a home in the Old Swan neighborhood. Devastated family members hailed her as “beautiful” and a “shining light.”
In what is thought to have been a case of “mistaken identification,” she was shot in the back by a shooter while in the back yard of the residence.
Her £70,000 three-bedroom terraced house, where she “lived primarily on her own,” is likely to have been broken into by thugs who then shot everyone inside.
Just one day before 9-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel was wounded in a different incident in the same area, Ms. Dale tragically passed away. Police in Merseyside are still looking for the shooter.
In the meanwhile, three individuals have been detained and later freed on bail in connection with the shooting death of Sam Rimmer, 22, last Tuesday in Dingle, Liverpool.
Following the detention of two persons in connection with Ms. Dale’s death, Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings of Merseyside Police released a statement in which she expressed her condolences to her family and friends.
Ashley Dale, 28, was shot and killed yesterday in the backyard of a home in Liverpool.
Seven years after the murder of the brother, 16, a council worker,
Ashley Dale, a council employee, was fatally shot in the yard of her three-bedroom home in the Old Swan neighborhood of Liverpool in what is thought to be a case of mistaken identification.
Although her murder is reportedly unconnected to her brother Lewis Dunne’s death, who was shot dead at age 16 by a gang that mistaken him for a competitor, the awful incident occurred seven years ago.
When he was shot dead on a canal towpath, the ‘wholly innocent’ adolescent was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time,’ the jury heard during a murder trial.
When Mr. Dunne stepped into the path of four men waiting with a loaded gun and “murderous intent,” Liverpool Crown Court was told, he was on his way to a store.
On November 15, 2015, two gangs engaged in street violence and a series of incidents in the neighborhood led to a gunshot in Vauxhall, Liverpool, which was reportedly the conclusion of those events.
Drug traffickers Jake Culshaw, then 26 years old, and brothers John and Paul Martin, then 20 and 26, armed themselves with a loaded firearm out of humiliation after coming out worst in the altercations.
The group believed Mr. Dunne, who had curly hair like a member of their enemy gang and was lurking in the shadows close to the Leeds and Liverpool canal, was one of their foes.
The three guys were later sentenced to life in prison for killing Lewis.
“Our cops arrested two people yesterday night,” an officer said. Investigations are ongoing to determine the reason behind this assault and identify all individuals responsible.
We will stop at nothing to bring those guilty to prison because this was a heartless act committed on a home street that struck devastation into the heart of a Merseyside community.
Even though we’ve already made two arrests, we still need people in the community to come forward with information so we can keep our streets safe.
Detectives are aware that there were persons wandering near to the area at the time of the offense because to intensive, continuing CCTV investigations.
If this was you, please come forward since you may not be aware that you have important information that can help our inquiry.
“Likewise, I would invite taxi and delivery drivers to get in touch with us if they have dashcam evidence and were in the vicinity between 12.20am and 12.40am.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen provided reporters with an update on their investigations into the three most recent deaths during a press conference regarding a string of homicides in the city.
He said that two electric bikes were allegedly utilized by four males who were observed in the vicinity of Mr. Rimmer’s death.
I would encourage anybody with knowledge about this investigation into a terrible murder to come forward and participate with us, Mr. Kameen stated.
Four offenders were present, and we think they came on two electric motorcycles, I said in my initial appeal.
“I’m still curious to learn any information on the identities of those four people.
“I’m still curious to know where the pistol that was used in that crime is,” you could say.
And I continue to be curious in any details relating to the two electric motorcycles that we think were utilized to get those four guys to the location.
In reference to the murder of Ms. Dale, he announced the arrest of the man and lady while stating that “inquiries are ongoing surrounding those two persons.”
Police forensic investigators were present at the shooting site in Liverpool yesterday.
Ms. Dale was a member of the Knowsley Council’s environmental health team and wasn’t thought to be the intended victim.
Seven years had passed since the shooting murder of her adolescent brother Lewis Dunne.
The family of Ms. Dale honored their “shining light” earlier this week.
The family of Ms. Dale released the following statement: “Ashley, our child – our bright light.” We are left with a million shards of crushed hearts. Young and ambitious, Ashley had her whole life ahead of her.
She had just received a promotion at Knowsley Council. She had a degree and many ambitions for her promising future, which was just getting started. Her grin, humor, and vitality filled the room.
“We are unable to comprehend how this could occur to a helpless lady in her own house. Our lives will never be the same again because none of this makes sense. A family has been ripped apart by a senseless crime. There needs to be justice served.
In the midst of rumours the murder may have been provoked by a £1 million cocaine heist, police probing the killing of nine-year-old Olivia in Liverpool today told her killer: “We will not rest until we find you and we will find you.”
Merseyside Police’s head of investigations, Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen, said that the department was investigating “a number of extremely good lines of inquiry” in regard to Monday’s murder.
He said that “we have had a number of identities supplied to us” and that it was unclear whether the shooter had gone internationally.
“My message is the same – we will not rest until we find you and we will find you,” he declared, addressing the murderer.
The 35-year-old convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee has been identified as the shooter who also injured Olivia’s mother.
He broke into her family’s house while attempting to escape a shooter wearing a mask. While Nee, who had also been wounded, was being transported to the hospital by his buddies in a black Audi, Olivia lay dying in her mother’s arms.
Mr. Kameen remarked to the shooter, “My message to him remains the same: we will not stop searching until we find you, and we will find you.”
Merseyside Police’s head of investigations, Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen, said that the agency was investigating “a number of extremely good lines of inquiry” in regard to the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The shooter, Joseph Nee, 35, a convicted burglar, has been identified as the intended victim of the incident that injured Olivia’s mother.
Detectives, according to Mr. Kameen, were conversing with a guy who was with Nee when the shooting took place.
He said that authorities had located and talked with the Audi’s driver. Nee, whose identity has never been made public by the police, is still receiving treatment in the hospital and will be sent back to jail for violating his parole, according to Mr. Kameen.
Cheryl, the mother of Olivia, had been undergoing medical care but was now discharged.
There are rumors that Nee was the subject of a “tit for tat” gang dispute that resulted from one group robbing the other of £1 million worth of cocaine, leading to Olivia’s death. On May 2020, four men armed with an axe and a baton attacked a drug stash house in Croxdale Road West, near to the home where Olivia resided with her two elder brothers.
Before stealing 30kg of cocaine, Richard Caswell and the Manchester-based brothers Jason and Craig Cox brutally up a father and son who were guarding the contraband.
It is believed that some of the narcotics were later sold to Leon Atkinson, a criminal friend of Dale Cregan, the police murderer.
The drug-owning group was previously regarded as invincible, thus the heist stunned Liverpool’s underworld.
The Sun was informed by a source in the Liverpool underworld that “the individuals who lost the £1 million in narcotics are the top of the criminal tree in Liverpool.”
No one could comprehend that someone would attempt to defraud them. Some were put in prison in May after the police were able to solve the case by breaking into their encrypted phones.
However, the Liverpool gang is still incensed and has been hunting down anybody they believe was responsible. According to rumors, Nee found some information for them.
It was discovered last night that a Nee relative had posted something on Facebook with the title, “Police are slime,” and the addition, “Snitches get stitches.” When the post was published is unclear.
