Olivia Pratt-Korbel's dad has paid tribute to his 'bright spark who loved to laugh' as he spoke out for the first time since the fatal shooting of the youngster.
John Francis Pratt said the gunning down of the nine-year-old girl 'cannot be in vain' as he released a statement on Tuesday, September 6. The dad also released a heartbreaking video of him with his daughter at a Christmas Market in Liverpool in which she can be seen giggling and cuddling her father.
The tragic youngster was shot dead by a masked gunman who burst into her home in the Dovecoat area of the city on August 22. On what was the 15th anniversary of the death of 11-year-old Rhys Jones as he walked home from football practice in the city, Olivia was shot in the chest as she got ready for bed in her family's home.
