Second target in Olivia Pratt-Korbel murder identified by police

A second man who was targeted by the gunman in the Olivia Pratt-Korbel murder has been identified by police.

On Monday, August 22, an unknown gunman targeted two men on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot at around 10pm. Olivia's mum opened the door to see what was happening on her street before one of the targets, Joseph Nee, forced his way into the home. The gunman followed before opening fire into the home, with a bullet hitting Olivia's mum, Cheryl, in the arm before fatally hitting the nine-year-old who was stood behind her.

The gunman then shot 35-year-old Nee before running away. A dark-coloured Audi then appeared at the scene and took Nee to hospital, leaving Olivia and her mum at the house. Police arrived and rushed Olivia to Alder Hey hospital, where she later died.
