Beautician Elle Edwards, 26, was killed by Connor Chapman outside a pub on Christmas Eve

A woman accused of harbouring the gunman who killed beautician Elle Edwards outside a pub has told a court she let him stay at her home after he got her best friend pregnant and his girlfriend found out.

She told the court she had been out with a friend on New Year’s Day 2023 and they had met Chapman in the afternoon to get cocaine. She said: “I told him my friend was pregnant to him.”Matthews told the court Chapman was “quite polite” but rang her that evening and said: “What the f****** hell is your mate playing at? My girlfriend’s seen everything.” She told the court: “I could hear a lot of shouting. He said she was angry and she’d chucked him out.

Matthews said she had “no idea” that police had executed a search warrant at Chapman’s grandparents’ home. The mother-of-three said she had helped Chapman to search for a lodge in Wales for himself, his girlfriend and their baby. She said she believed he wanted to book the trip to “make amends with his girlfriend”.

She said Google Street View searches on her phone for the area around the Lighthouse pub were not carried out by her. She said: “It looks like I’ve given him the phone. He’s obviously pretended to continue looking for lodges and he’s took it upon himself to do what he’s done.”
