Thomas Cashman found guilty of the murder of Oliva Pratt Korbel

Thomas Cashman, 34, was found guilty of murder by a jury at Manchester Crown Court.

Thomas Cashman, 34, was found guilty of murder, attempted murder, wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and two charges of possession of firearms by a jury at Manchester Crown Court.

Olivia died after a gunman fired shots into the family's home in Dovecot, Liverpool, on 22 August 2022, during what prosecutors described as a "ruthless pursuit" to execute another man.

After the verdict, Merseyside's chief constable Serena Kennedy described Cashman as a "coward".

She said: "He's despicable. He made great play in the trial that he's a dad and yet he's put Olivia's family through this trial. I hope he reflects every morning when he wakes up behind bars and every night when he goes to sleep about what he's put Olivia's family through."
