A police convoy has been spotted on the Strand escorting Thomas Cashman to Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning.
The 34-year-old is travelling in a matrix van, led by police motorcycles, ahead of him appearing in court accused of killing nine-year-old Olivia Pratt Korbel. The schoolgirl died after she was shot in the chest at her home, on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot.
The shooting happened on Monday, August 22, after a gunman chased convicted burglar Joseph Nee into Olivia's family home. Multiple shots were fired during the attack, with Olivia's mum Cheryl and Nee also suffering gunshot wounds.
