The man convicted of murdering Liverpool schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel has refused to appear in the dock to be sentenced for the killing.
Thomas Cashman, 34, was found guilty last week of murdering the nine-year-old and the wounding with intent of her mother Cheryl Korbel, 46, as he chased convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee into their home in the Dovecot area of the city on August 22 last year.
