The sister of Olivia Pratt-Korbell told the court she lost her "baby sister" and "best friend" the night Thomas Cashman fired bullets into her home indiscriminately.
Yesterday, Cashman was sentenced to a minimum 42 years in prison after the nine-year-old was shot in the chest in her house in Liverpool last August.
Cashman, 34, refused to face Olivia's family in court to her how his senseless violence tore their family apart.
