Thomas Cashman was found guilty of the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt Korbel
The "feared hitman" who shot and killed nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Liverpool last year faces life in prison after he was found guilty of murder. Thomas Cashman, dubbed "the most hated man in Britain", was found guilty of one of the most devastating crimes in the history of Merseyside after he murdered the innocent youngster in her own home.
On the night of Olivia's death, Cashman had been on a mission to execute convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee, 35 who barged inside Cheryl Korbel's home in an attempt to save his own life. Cashman had blindly fired two shots into Olivia's home and one passed through the front door, through Cheryl's right wrist and into the chest of the nine-year-old school girl.
After a momentary pause, Cashman replied: “If he didn’t give it me, well, he would have ended up getting a punch or something.” Mr McLachlan asked: “This is the world in which you live and work?” Cashman responded: “If I let people do that all the time I wouldn’t be able to sell cannabis. I would have took the graft; I would have took the car".
The first was on January 27, 2020, when a 19-year-old man was discovered wounded in Dovecot. The second was close to playing fields off Ackers Hall Avenue on August 8 last year, around the corner from Olivia’s home, where the Glock was fired "indiscriminately" as two "rival groups" faced off. "Something like someone was coming for him, he had a source who told him someone was sitting him off. He wanted to do him before he did him.” She said Cashman told her: “I didn’t know where else to go, but I trust you.”
