Home Secretary Priti Patel visited Merseyside today, just hours after a man was arrested on suspicion of killing Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Ms Patel travelled to Dovecot this afternoon to walk around the scene of the shooting with Liverpool Chief Constabe Serena Kennedy where a cordon is still in place while forensic work takes place. The visit also came after she offered additional resources to Merseyside Police earlier in the week as officers and detectives searched for the gunman who fatally shot Olivia.
The nine-year-old was killed when a gunman tried to force his way into her home at around 10pm on Monday, August 22 after a man he was chasing forced himself into the home. The gunman opened fire, with a bullet hitting Olivia's mum, Cheryl, in her arm before hitting Olivia in her chest.
