Mum 'ecstatic' after man found guilty of murdering her nine-year-old girl Olivia Pratt-Korbel

A mum said she was "ecstatic" after a man was found guilty of killing her nine-year-old daughter.

Thomas Cashman was convicted of fatally shooting Olivia Pratt-Korbel as he chased a convicted drug dealer into her home in Liverpool. The 34-year-old admitted being a "high-level" cannabis dealer but denied being the gunman in the incident, which also injured Olivia's mother Cheryl Korbel, 46, and Joseph Nee, the intended target, in Dovecot, Liverpool, on August 22 last year.

A jury at Manchester Crown Court found him guilty of the murder of Olivia, the attempted murder of Nee, wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Ms Korbel, and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. Ms Korbel said she was "ecstatic" as she left court following the conclusion of the trial.
