A woman who described having an on-off affair with Thomas Cashman told detectives he said "he wanted to get them before they got him" on the night Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot dead.
Today (Friday) a jury heard a video recording of a police interview with a witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, during the trial of 34-year-old Cashman. Cashman, of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, denies any involvement in nine-year-old Olivia's death.
Manchester Crown Court has heard that Olivia was killed by a bullet that passed through the front door of her home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, before striking the hand of her mum, Cheryl Korbel, and hitting her in the chest.
