Olivia Pratt-Korbel's mum was desperate to save her daughter but could not perform CPR after being shot straight through her hand.
Olivia, nine, was shot in her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot in August last year by Thomas Cashman. During a three-and-a-half-week trial Manchester Crown Court heard Cashman "lay in wait" for Joseph Nee while armed with two loaded guns as he watched a Liverpool FC v Manchester United football match on the television at his friend Timmy Naylor's house on Finch Lane.
When he left the address with another man, Paul Abraham, the gunman approached them from behind and opened fire with a self-loading Glock-style pistol. A chilling piece of CCTV footage showed Mr Abraham running for his life as two loud bangs rang out.
