Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s mother remembers ‘sassy little princess’ on first anniversary of murder

Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s mother has spoken of her “sassy little princess” a year after the nine-year-old was shot and died at her home in Liverpool.

The young girl was fatally shot by Thomas Cashman who fired at another criminal as they ran into her home in Dovecot on 22 August 2022.

The 34-year-old refused to appear in court as he was jailed for life with a minimum term of 42 years for Olivia’s murder.

As part of the Face the Family campaign, Ms Korbel is calling for a change in the law to force convicted defendants to face their victims’ families in court.
