The classmates of Olivia Pratt-Korbel will get to watch a screening of her favourite film on the day of her funeral.
Children at St Margaret Mary's Catholic Junior School in Knotty Ash, will not attend the service at neighbouring St Margaret Mary's Church tomorrow, but will instead remember their friend in other ways, according to headteacher Rebecca Wilkinson. That will include an afternoon screening of the adaptation of Roald Dahl classic 'Matilda'.
The nine-year-old was shot dead in her home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, at around 10pm on Monday, August 22 by a gunman chasing 35-year-old Joseph Nee. Nee had barged inside in a desperate bid to escape after Olivia's mum, Cheryl Korbel, heard loud bangs and opened her front door to see what was going on.
