A woman who had an on-off sexual relationship with murder accused Thomas Cashman tearfully told a jury her "world came crumbling down" when she was arrested on a train in connection with the killing of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The witness, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, has given evidence claiming that Cashman, 34, turned up at her bedside without warning on the night the nine-year-old was killed, asking for a "pair of pants".
The schoolgirl died after a bullet passed through the front door of her family home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, then through the right hand of her mum, Cheryl Korbel, before striking her in the chest. A jury has heard the gunman was chasing 36-year-old Joseph Nee, who barged into the Korbel home while fleeing for his life, at around 10pm on August 22 last year.
