Thomas Cashman will appear in Liverpool Crown Court today ahead of standing trial accused of shooting Olivia Pratt-Korbel dead.
The 34-year-old, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, is at a pre-trial review after he pleaded not guilty to murdering nine-year-old back in December. As well as entering a not guilty plea to the schoolgirl's murder, Cashman denied attempting to murder Joseph Nee and wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm Olivia's mum, Cheryl Korbel.
He similarly pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, namely a 9mm calibre self-loading pistol and a 0.3 calibre revolver. A trial date is set for March 9 this year.
