News that a man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbell has been met with 'relief' in the community that has been rocked by her killing.
Merseyside Police announced the arrest of a 36-year-old man this morning after an armed raid last night. The man, from Huyton, has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of nine-year-old Olivia, who was shot dead in her own home on Kingsheath Avenue on Monday night. The man has also been arrested on two counts of attempted murder.
All week, people have been encouraged to come forward with any information that could lead to the arrest of the person who shot Olivia dead and injured her mum when they burst into her home on Monday evening. Many have come to the nearby community centre The Drive, to pass on anonymous information, which has then been handed to police.
