A nine-year-old girl who was shot dead in Liverpool has been described as the 'best friend anyone could wish for'. Olivia Pratt-Korbel was stood behind her mum Cheryl when a gunman fired inside her home in Didcot on Monday night (August 22).
The killer, who remains at large, had forced his way into the Kingsheath Avenue house while chasing another man. He opened fire, with the bullet hitting Cheryl in the wrist and fatally wounding Olivia.
Now, the youngster's best friend, Hattie, has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her 'big sister', the Liverpool Echo reports. She said: "Olivia you are the best friend anyone could wish for, like my big sister.

"I will miss you so much. Lots of love Hattie xx." Olivia's death has rocked the community, coming days after the killings of Ashley Dale and Sam Rimmer, with all three fatally shot.
Hattie's brother Logan, who was in Olivia's class at St Margaret Mary's Primary School, said 'school won't be the same' without her. Hattie and Logan's mum Steph Mctigue shared the tributes with the Echo, along with a series of pictures of the three friends together.
In the photos, Olivia, Hattie and Logan can be seen climbing trees with huge smiles on their faces. In a video seen by the Echo, Olivia and Hattie sing Count On Me by Bruno Mars on karaoke.
