Armed police convoy escorts Thomas Cashman to court ahead of murder trial

The suspected murderer of a nine-year-old girl has arrived at court with an armed police escort.

Thomas Cashman is due to go on trial today charged with the murder of schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel in her own home last year. Images from outside Manchester Crown Court show the van that the 34-year-old is being escorted in arriving for the trial.

The nine-year-old was shot dead in the chest with a revolver inside home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on the evening of August 22 last year. The gunman had reportedly been chasing after 35-year-old Joseph Nee, who was also injured, at the time of the shooting.
