Thomas Cashman was escorted into custody in a large police convoy after appearing in court charged with the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The 34-year-old, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, was charged with the murder of nine-year-old Olivia, the attempted murder of Cheryl Korbel and Joseph Nee, and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. Cashman first appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning, Monday, October 3 after being charged over the weekend.
Cashman gave his name, date of birth and address before his case was referred to Liverpool Crown Court for a 2pm hearing. Cashman, who sat with his head bowed in the crown court hearing, was not asked to enter a plea, but a four-week trial was set for March 6 next year.
