A tearful Cheryl Korbel clutched a teddy bear as Thomas Cashman was found guilty of the murder of her nine-year-old daughter.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel was tragically shot dead at her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on the evening of August 22 last year. Drug dealer Cashman, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, was today unanimously convicted of one of the most atrocious crimes in Merseyside's history.
There were tears among the Korbel family as the verdict was delivered this afternoon, Thursday, after eight hours of deliberations. Olivia's sister Chloe clung to her mother's arm as Cheryl clutched a pink teddy while Cashman shook his head, turned to his family and put his head in his hands before appearing tearful.
