The family of murdered nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel reacted with fury today as the legal representative of a man who helped killer Thomas Cashman in the aftermath of her death suggested a prison sentence could be suspended.
Ryan Korbel, the youngster's brother, walked out of the public gallery at a court as Paul Russell's mitigation was outlined. And John Pratt, Olivia's dad, said 'so what?' as Liverpool Crown Court heard Russell, who helped Cashman dispose of evidence, was finding his time in prison 'isolating'.
Russell, 41, gave Cashman a lift from a woman's home, where the ruthless gunman had fled to after shooting Olivia dead on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, Liverpool on August 22 last year.
