Stark four word message to Olivia Pratt-Korbel's killer

A stark four-word message was issued to the killer of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

In a press conference this morning, it was revealed that the second man who was targeted by the gunman who fatally shot the nine-year-old in her own home has now been identified. Olivia was standing behind her mum when she was shot with the same bullet that hit her mum in the arm on Monday night.

The gunman had been chasing target, Joseph Nee, and a second man when he burst through Olivia's front door. Nee, 35, was shot multiple times before the gunman ran from the scene.

Nee was collected by a dark-coloured Audi and dropped off at hospital, leaving Olivia her and mum, Cheryl, behind. Olivia was then rushed to Alder Hey by police before later dying.

Cheryl has since been released from Aintree Hospital. Now, Merseyside Police issued a stark message to the killer of Olivia, with ACC Chris Green concluding the press conference today with the message: "We will find you."

DCS Mark Kameen said he “struggles to find the words” to describe the man who killed Olivia. He added that the disgust he feels is shared among his colleagues as well as “locally, nationally and internationally”.

Merseyside Police also confirmed that the force is now following a number of lines of enquiry into the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

Thousands have since been raised for the family of Olivia, with the ECHO and Merseyside Police urging people to come forward with information relating to Olivia's murder, as well as the murder of 28-year-old Ashley Dale and 22-year-old Sam Rimmer.

Anyone with information, footage or images is asked to contact police via the following link Public Portal ( mipp.police.uk ), @MerPolCC or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with reference 22000621566.
