Olivia's brother walks out of court as Paul Russell defence ask for suspended sentence

The family of Olivia Pratt-Korbel reacted with frustration as representatives of Paul Russell addressed the court during his sentencing today.

John Pratt, Olivia's dad, said "so what?" as Liverpool Crown Court heard the man who helped his son's killer dispose of evidence was finding his time in prison "isolating". Russell, 41, gave killer Thomas Cashman a lift from the home of Russell's partner, where the ruthless gunman had fled to after shooting Olivia dead on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on August 22 last year.

Russell also returned and collected a bag of clothing Cashman, 34, had worn during the shooting, which he then passed to another accomplice who has not been identified.
