A man jailed for helping Thomas Cashman cover up the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel told detectives he was no friend of the killer. Paul Russell has been locked up for 22 months following his actions in the aftermath of the tragedy.
The 41-year-old disposed of Cashman's clothing and drove him back to his van following the fatal shooting of nine-year-old Olivia, the Liverpool Echo reports. But in his police interview, Russell insisted he "didn't want to drop him off", telling cops: "I don't like him anyway."
Liverpool Crown Court heard extracts from conversations Russell had with police on August 28 last year, six days on from the killing of Olivia on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot, Liverpool. In an extract read by Henry Riding, prosecuting, the court heard Russell describing the moment he received a phone call from his girlfriend.
