A jury heard how the next-door neighbour of schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel rushed to perform CPR on the dying nine-year-old after she was shot in the chest.
Rob Lamb was at home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, watching Manchester United vs Liverpool FC when he heard a series of loud bangs outside. An agreed statement from Mr Lamb was read to the jury at Manchester Crown Court today where Thomas Cashman, 34, is standing trial for Olivia's murder, which he denies any involvement in.
The jury earlier heard that Olivia was fatally wounded by a bullet which passed through the front door of her family home, struck her mum, Cheryl Korbel, in the right hand and then hit her in the chest. The gunman had been chasing a man called Joseph Nee, 36, who barged in through the front door while fleeing for his life.
