Olivia Pratt-Korbel wanted to be 'teacher or vet' before tragic death

Olivia Pratt-Korbel had dreams of becoming "a teacher or a vet" before she was shot dead at home.

The nine-year-old was shot dead by a gunman at her home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on Monday, August 22. Olivia was hit by a stray bullet from a gunman chasing convicted criminal Joseph Nee at around 10pm.

Nee forced his way into her home when her mum, 46-year-old Cheryl Korbel, opened the front door to investigate the noise. But the gunman followed Nee and unleashed a hail of bullets, hitting Olivia in the chest with the same bullet that injured Cheryl.
