Police have arrested a teenager in connection with the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel. The 18-year-old man, from West Derby, was detained by officers on suspicion of assisting an offender.
He is the eighth person to be arrested in the ongoing murder investigation after the schoolgirl was shot dead in her own home in Dovecoat. A 29-year-old male was arrested yesterday (September 8) on suspicion of assisting an offender and is currently being held in police custody to await questioning, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Four other suspects connected to the shooting were previously conditionally bailed by Merseyside police. Detectives were given a rare extension to question three men arrested in connection with the crime, however they have since been released due to a lack of evidence.
