Thomas Cashman jury shown CCTV footage of his movements hours before Olivia Pratt-Korbel was killed

A jury hearing evidence on the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel has been shown CCTV footage of Thomas Cashman's movements earlier on the day of the shooting.

The 34-year-old, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, is currently standing trial at Manchester Crown Court charged with murdering the nine-year-old after she was shot dead inside her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot. The jury was told a bullet travelled through the front door of the house, hit her mum, Cheryl Korbel, in the hand then struck the schoolgirl in the chest on the evening of August 22 last year.

David McLachlan, KC, prosecuting, told the jury the gunman had been "relentlessly pursuing" a man called Joseph Nee, who was walking with a friend on Kingsheath Avenue when the offender ran up behind them and began firing with a 9mm self-loading pistol.
