Hundreds of people came together for an emotional service in memory of a nine-year-old girl who was shot to death in her own home.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot at her home in Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot after a gunman burst into her home while chasing 35-year-old Joseph Nee, who had run into the house to escape after noticing Olivia's mum, Cheryl Korbel, open the front door. Two men arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder have been conditionally bailed and remain under investigation.
But as the investigation continues, around 200 people, including Olivia's family, gathered at St Margaret Mary's RC Church, next to the little girl's primary school in Pilch Lane, Huyton. Mourners started to arrive hand in hand at around 5.30pm to pay their respects to the St Margaret Mary pupil.
