Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s family said the schoolgirl died “a scared nine-year-old” in an emotional reaction to her killer’s jailing.
Today, Thomas Cashman was jailed for life, with a minimum of 42 years for gunning down the young girl in her own home.
The tragic incident took place on the evening of August 22 last year when Cashman chased convicted burglar Joseph Nee, 36, into her home in Dovecot, Liverpool.
