A witness in the Olivia Pratt-Korbel trial who claims he was with suspect Thomas Cashman at the time of the fatal shooting was told on Friday afternoon: "You are a liar."
The 34-year-old defendant, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, is accused of being the man who shot the nine-year-old girl dead in her own home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on the evening of August 22 last year. He is currently standing trial accused of her murder, but denies being the gunman or any involvement in the incident.
Nicholas McHale was called by the defence to give evidence on Friday. Cashman previously told the jury when he was on the stand that he was with his friend Craig Byrne, who lives opposite Mr McHale on Snowberry Road, counting £10,000 cash and smoking cannabis at the time Olivia was killed.
