Olivia Pratt-Korbel's brother shares moment he 'knew it was over' after little sister shot

The brother of Olivia Pratt-Korbel shared the moment he "knew it was over" after his little sister was shot.

Ryan Korbel was at home with his two sisters, his mum and two neighbours on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, when a gunman opened fire in the street outside, at around 10pm on August 22 last year. Thomas Cashman, 34, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, has been charged with her murder but denies any involvement in the shootings.

A jury at Manchester Crown Court today (Friday) saw a video recording of Merseyside Police detectives interviewing Mr Korbel the day after his sister was shot dead. She was hit by a bullet that travelled through the door of the family home, struck their mum, Cheryl Korbel, in the right wrist and then struck the nine-year-old in the chest.
