Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said "cowardly" killer Thomas Cashman had denied Olivia Pratt-Korbel's family "the sense of justice that they deserve" after he refused to attend court to be sentenced for her murder.
Olivia, nine, was gunned down in the hallway of her own home, on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot, on the evening of August 22 last year
Cashman, 34, denied responsibility for her murder, but a jury saw through his lies and found him guilty following an 18-day trial at Manchester Crown Court last month.
