Merseyside Police have charged two more men with the murder of Ashley Dale.

The Knowsley Council worker was found in her backyard by police at around 12.40am on August 21 with a gunshot wound to her body. Ms Dale, who is not believe to be the intended target, was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later.

Both men are remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday February 14.
