Friends of Olivia Pratt-Korbel and other children traumatised by her murder are set to receive counselling and support after concerns over the impact of the tragedy on young minds.
The atrocious murder left Dovecot and the surrounding areas in a deep state of shock, and authorities are concerned about the long term effects the news may have on children and the community as a whole.
Olivia died on Monday, August 22, after a gunman, chasing 35-year-old convicted criminal Joseph Nee, followed his target through the door of Olivia's home in Kingsheath Avenue and opened fire. The killer, wearing a balaclava to hide his face, was captured on CCTV fleeing the scene on foot towards the junction with Finch Lane, before turning onto Berryford Road and disappearing from view.
