The poignant pink bear Cheryl Korbel clung onto during the Thomas Cashman murder trial has a moving message stitched onto it.
Thomas Cashman, 34, formerly of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, was found guilty by a jury of Olivia’s murder on Thursday, March 30. The drug dealer was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Joseph Nee, wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Cheryl, and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Before Justice Yip asked the foreman of the jury to stand and give their verdict, Olivia's mum, Cheryl, was seen in the public gallery wearing a pink cardigan and holding a teddy bear, sat with her children Chloe and Ryan in the court. There were gasps and tears from Olivia’s family as the verdicts were returned.
