Thomas Cashman's family protested his innocence as they left the court after he was found guilty of murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The nine-year-old was fatally shot in her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on the night of August 22 last year. Drug dealer Cashman, of Grenadier Drive, West Derby, was today (Thursday, March 30) unanimously found guilty of one of the most horrific crimes in Merseyside's history.
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.
