The intended target of the attack that killed Olivia Pratt-Korbel begged the shooter for his life.
Manchester Crown Court heard today how Joseph Nee begged a gunman for his life after being shot at in the street. Thomas Cashman returned to the dock today after being charged with nine-year-old Olivia's murder. The 34-year-old, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, pleaded not guilty to murdering Olivia back in December.
As well as denying Olivia's murder, Cashman denies attempting to murder Nee as well as wounding Olivia's mum, Cheryl Korbel, with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm. He also pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, namely a 9mm calibre self-loading pistol and a 0.3 calibre revolver.
