The Mayor of Liverpool has today said 'justice has been done' after Thomas Cashman was found guilty of the murder of 9-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The nine-year-old was tragically shot dead at her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on the evening of August 22 last year. Drug dealer Cashman, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, was today unanimously convicted of her murder.
After eight hours of deliberations at Manchester Crown Court, the jury today found Cashman guilty of the murder of Olivia as well as the attempted murder of Joseph Nee, of wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm against Cheryl Korbel and of two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
