Cheryl Korbel has shared how a pink teddy bear she carried into court is made out of her daughter's pyjamas.
Cheryl, 46, mum of murdered Olivia Pratt-Korbel, was seen clutching the teddy bear to her chest as she arrived at Manchester Crown Court for the sentencing of Thomas Cashman. Cashman, 34, formerly of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, earlier arrived at the court building surrounded by armed police to be sentenced.
However, it has since been confirmed he will not appear in the courtroom this afternoon and will be sentenced in his absence. Justice Amanda Yip, who presided over his trial, will be required to set a minimum term which the 34-year-old must serve behind bars before he is considered eligible for release.
