Our Liverpool: City will never forget Olivia

Hello and welcome to this morning's Our Liverpool.

Liverpool breathed a gaping sigh of relief yesterday after news broke that the monster who murdered Olivia was found guilty on all charges related to the incident which devastated the city and shocked the country. I think many of us will never forget where we were when the initial reports of her killing broke last August, and none of us will ever forget the girl so tragically caught in the middle of it all.

The guilty verdict sent a clear message to those who would chose to participate in gun crime in our city, but to no one was it more important than Olivia's family. RIP Olivia.
