Footage of the manhunt for the gunman who killed Olivia Pratt-Korbel will air as part of a true crime documentary.
The nine-year-old died when Thomas Cashman fired a shot into her Dovecot home as he “ruthlessly pursued” convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee. Cowardly Cashman, 34, was jailed for 42 years at Manchester Crown Court for Olivia's murder and sparked outrage when he refused to turn up for the sentencing and face the girl's family.
On the evening of August 22 last year Cashman lay in wait for Nee on Kingsheath Avenue. At around 10pm he opened fire on Nee with a Glock self-loading pistol and shot him three times, but was foiled in his execution attempt when the gun "malfunctioned". However Cashman had brought a back-up weapon, a revolver, and pursued Nee as he ran for his life.
