Olivia Pratt-Korbel's killer has been sentenced to life in prison - although he wasn't there in person to hear it.
Thomas Cashman was found guilty of gunning down the nine-year-old schoolgirl in her own home in Dovecot, Liverpool, on the evening of August 22 last year.
The killing shocked Merseyside and the country and was the third such killing in the region in that week.
