Thomas Cashman 'not worthy' of walking streets of Merseyside

Police have said Thomas Cashman is "not worthy" of walking the streets of Merseyside after being found guilty of murdering a nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.

Cashman, 34, formerly of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, was found guilty of murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel following an 18-day trial at Manchester Crown Court. Cashman was also found guilty of attempting to murder Joseph Nee, wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm against Cheryl Korbel and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

The jury gave a unanimous guilty verdict after eight hours of deliberations. Justice Yip said Cashman, as well as Paul Russell who pleaded guilty to assisting an offender, will be sentenced on April 3.
