Olivia Pratt-Korbel was allegedly shot dead after a masked gunman burst into her family home
A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a nine-year-old girl in Liverpool.
Merseyside Police said on Thursday evening that a man from the area has been taken to a police station where he will be questioned by detectives. Officers said the investigation into Olivia's murder is ongoing and continues the appeal for information. Announcing Crimestoppers's biggest single reward offer last week, the charity's founder and chairman Lord Ashcroft said: "This case has been incredibly shocking, not just for those who are directly affected but also for Liverpool and the nation as a whole. I am delighted that with the support of a private donor, Crimestoppers can now offer a record £200,000 for information to catch Olivia's killer.
Police have also revealed the two weapons involved were a .38 revolver - the gun responsible for killing Olivia - and a Glock-type self-loading 9mm pistol which was fired in the initial stages of the incident. Olivia was taken to at Alder Hey Children's Hospital but pronounced dead the same day as the shooting.
