The trial of Thomas Cashman, who is accused of murdering nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, is due to continue for a second week.
The schoolgirl died after being shot in the chest in her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on the evening of August 22 last year. Cashman, aged 34 and of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, denies any involvement in the shooting.
The second week of the trial is scheduled to begin at Manchester Crown Square Crown Court this morning, Monday. The ECHO will be providing live updates from the courtroom as the case resumes.
