The killer of Olivia Pratt-Korbel could have his 42-year prison sentence increased due to complaints that the verdict was 'too lenient'. Thomas Cashman, 34, could not face the nine-year-old's relatives in court when handed his sentence.
At Manchester Crown Court, the drug dealer who shot Olivia in her home in Dovecot, Liverpool in August last year, was sentenced to 42-years. The horrifying murder caught the attention of the entire nation, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A court heard Cashman pre-empted killing Joseph Nee, 36, as the convicted criminal ran towards the home of Olivia. Cashman pursued and Olivia's mother, Cheryl Korbel, 46, who hit in the wrist after attempting to keep the door closed, but the same bullet hit daughter Olivia in the chest resulting in her death.
