Police promise to locate Liverpool gunman after murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel
It is “unclear” if the gunman who shot dead Olivia Pratt-Korbel is still in the country, Merseyside police have said, as they vow not to rest until they have found him.
Speaking at a press conference, detective chief superintendent Mark Kameen said it was “unclear at this stage” if the unidentified gunman was still in Liverpool, the North-West or the UK.
He appealed to the killer to hand himself in but said that had not happened.
“My message to him remains the same - we will not rest until we find you and we will find you,” he said.
Meanwhile, the young girl's family has pleaded for information on her killer.
In a statement the family paid tribute to their “chatty, nosey little girl” and pleaded for information about the nine-year-old’s killer.
“If anyone knows anything, now is the time to speak up,” they said. “It is not about being a ‘snitch’ or a ‘grass’ it is about finding out who took our baby away from us. Please do the right thing," the statement said.
