Jurors hearing evidence in the trial of a man accused of murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel were today told the alleged target of the shooting Joseph Nee was left with "potentially life threatening injuries".
The court previously heard the gunman was chasing 36-year-old Nee, who barged through the front door of the Korbel family home while fleeing for his life. Olivia died on August 22 last year after a bullet passed through the front door of her home, on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot, hit her mum, Cheryl Korbel, in the hand and then struck her in the chest.
Thomas Cashman has returned to the dock at Manchester Crown Court today after being charged with the nine-year-old's murder. The 34-year-old, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, pleaded not guilty to murdering Olivia back in December.
