Liverpool Council is expected to back calls for legislation to be made to ensure cowardly killers face justice.
After being found guilty for the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel at her home in Dovecot, Thomas Cashman chose to hide away in his cell, rather than facing up to the pain he had inflicted on Olivia’s mum Cheryl and her family. In his absence, the coward killer was sentenced to at least 42 years in prison.
Since then, politicians and campaigners alike have called for tighter measures to guarantee those found guilty of an offence cannot dodge justice.
