Olivia Pratt-Korbel's family in tears as Paul Russell jailed for 22 months

Olivia Pratt-Korbel's family broke down in tears when Paul Russell was sentenced today.

Justice Yip handed the 41-year-old a 22 month sentence, saying that she was giving credit of 25 per cent for his guilty plea. Taking into account the time spent on remand, and the fact offenders serving determinate sentences are released at the half way stage on licence, Russell could be freed in less than six months.

Some members of Olivia’s family were in tears in the public gallery as the sentence was delivered. Paul Russell showed no emotion as the sentence was passed.
