Detectives have received information suggesting two of the horrific murders that rocked Merseyside last month are linked but are not treating it as a "primary line of enquiry".
Today Merseyside Police released CCTV footage of the gunman who murdered nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, and revealed he fired two guns during the incident that led to her death on Monday, August 22.
The force also released footage of a witness who may hold vital information, showing him standing on the corner of Kingsheath Avenue and Finch Lane at around the time of the murder. During a press conference at Merseyside Police HQ, Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen told the media that the force had made "significant progress" in the investigation into Olivia's death and thanked the public for its "fantastic response" to appeals for information.
