Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot in the chest on August 22 when the perpetrator’s intended target burst into her house to try to escape his attacker, in what has been described as a suspected gang war incident.

In a statement, Merseyside Police said Thomas Cashman, from the Liverpool suburb of West Derby, had been charged with the young girl’s murder “following an extensive and complex investigation.” The force has also charged him with the attempted murders of the girl's mother Cheryl Korbel and Joseph Nee, a convicted burglar, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which brings charges in England and Wales. Cashman faces a further two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. Paul Russell, 40, from the same suburb, has been charged with assisting an offender, police added. Both men will appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Monday. The CPS said it had authorized the charges “following a review of a file of evidence received from Merseyside Police.” Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen said its probe “continues in earnest.” “I would ask for your continued support so we can keep the promise we made to Olivia’s family and the local community to ensure that those involved face justice,” he added, noting the response so far had been “overwhelming.” Kameen said those still sought included “the people who have tried to shield and protect individuals, and those who have supplied the weapon or are hiding the weapons used in this incident.” Read more: India arrests six over alleged rape, murder of teen girls found hanging from tree South Korea jails a stalker accused of killing his colleague France arrests Danish man after wife’s body was shot, found stuffed in fridge Get the latest stories from AlArabiya on Google News * UK * Crime * Murder Also Read * Suspected Palestinian murderer found hanged in Israel’s Tel Aviv Suspected Palestinian murderer found hanged in Israel’s Tel Aviv A Palestinian suspected of beating an 84-year old Israeli woman to death was found hanged in the heart of Tel Aviv Wednesday, Israeli police ...
