Olivia Pratt-Korbel's mum has described the heartbreaking moment she returned home after her nine-year-old daughter was shot dead by Thomas Cashman last August.
Reading her victim impact statement in court, Cheryl Korbel said it was "as though time had stood still" and Olivia's dolls were still on the floor when the family was allowed back in following the girl's murder.
As killer Cashman was sentenced to life with a minimum prison term of 42 years for the murder of little Olivia, her mum said moving into a new home was "difficult" and packing everything up was "horrendous", the Liverpool Echo reports.
