The investigation into the death of Olivia Pratt-Korbel hit a significant milestone yesterday as Thomas Cashman and Paul Russell, the two men charged in connection with her death, appeared in court for the first time.
Cashman, who is charged with the murder of nine year-old Olivia as well as the attempted murder of her mum Cheryl and convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee, appeared before the magistrates and crown courts yesterday.
Cashman, 34, is alleged to have shot Olivia in the chest on August 22 as he chased Nee into the Dovecot home Olivia shared with her mother Cheryl.
