Matrix officers today carried out a thorough search of a golf club in the hunt to track down the murder weapon that killed Olivia Pratt-Korbel. Police conducted the search at West Derby Golf Club on September 12, with the hope of locating the gun that was used to murder the nie-year-old last month.
The young girl was shot dead on the evening of August 22, while hiding behind her mother in their family home at Kings Heath Avenue in Dovecot. Police suspect that the killer used two guns at the scene and left with them both, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Officers are currently looking for the weapons at the golf club and have teamed up with police divers from the North West Underwater Search Team to continue the hunt. Police drones will also be used to search the area bordered by Grenadier Drive, along Aspes Road and down to Yew Tree Road, including the brook which runs through the area.
