Cheryl Korbel clutched onto a teddy bear as she heard Thomas Cashmas was found guilty of murdering her daughter Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Thomas Cashman, 34, and formerly of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, was found guilty by a jury of Olivia’s murder. The drug dealer was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Joseph Nee, wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Cheryl, and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Before Justice Yip asked the foreman of the jury to stand and give their verdict, Olivia's mum, Cheryl, was seen in the public gallery wearing a pink cardigan and holding a teddy bear, sat with her children Chloe and Ryan in the court. There were gasps and tears from Olivia’s family as the verdicts were returned.
