First flowers at the scene of Olivia Pratt-Korbel shooting

The first bouquet of flowers has been placed outside the home of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

A cordon is still currently in place at Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot after nine-year-old Olivia was shot dead in her own home. Two men are believed to have been walking down the residential road from Finch Road when a man wearing black clothes and a balaclava opened fire.

The two men began to run before Olivia's mum, Cheryl, opened the door to see what had happened. One of the men being chased then forced his way into the home before the gunman followed him and also attempted to force his way in. He then opened fire and shot Cheryl, with the same bullet also hitting Olivia in the chest.
