Public told 'do your duty' to ensure justice is done for Olivia Pratt-Korbel

A coroner has called for anyone with information on the shooting of Olivia Pratt-Korbel to do their "duty" and come forward, as he suspended her inquest while criminal proceedings take place.

Nine-year-old Olivia was shot in her home in Dovecot, Liverpool, on Monday, August 22, when a gunman chased convicted burglar Joseph Nee into her home.

Thomas Cashman, 34, has been charged with her murder and appeared in court earlier this week.

He said: "It is vitally important that anyone who has any information around this incident rings Crimestoppers or contacts Merseyside Police to give them that information as there is a duty on us all to actually ensure that justice is done."
