Thomas Cashman has appealed to have his jail term reduced after he murdered nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Less than three weeks ago Cashman sparked outrage by refusing to face the nine-year-old’s relatives in Manchester Crown Court when he was jailed for a minimum of 42 years.
A Court of Appeal official said yesterday: “We received an application for leave to appeal the claimant’s sentence.” No application has been made in relation to Cashman’s conviction for murder, MirrorOnline reports.
