The killer of Olivia Pratt-Korbel could have his 42-year prison sentence increased due to complaints that the verdict was 'too lenient'. Thomas Cashman, 34, could not face the nine-year-old's relatives in court when handed his sentence.
At Manchester Crown Court, the drug dealer who shot Olivia in her home in Dovecot, Liverpool in August last year, was sentenced to 42-years. The horrifying murder caught the attention of the entire nation, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A court heard Cashman pre-empted killing Joseph Nee, 36, as the convicted criminal ran towards the home of Olivia. Cashman pursued and Olivia's mother, Cheryl Korbel, 46, who hit in the wrist after attempting to keep the door closed, but the same bullet hit daughter Olivia in the chest resulting in her death.
The nine-year-old's final words to her mother were "Mummy, I'm scared". The Attorney General's Office confirmed today that Cashman's sentence had been referred for being 'unduly lenient', according to the Echo.
A spokesperson commented: "We have received a request for this sentence to be considered under the Unduly Lenient scheme. The law officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider the case and make a decision."
The office has until May 1 to decide whether to refer the complaint to the Court of Appeal with that deadline coming 28 days after Cashman was sentenced on April 3. Judges could be set to increase the sentence to a whole life term.
The Court of Appeal also confirmed this week that the killer had appealed to have his jail term reduced. An official commented: "We received an application for leave to appeal the claimant's sentence." The Echo claims no application, however, has been made in relation to the conviction of murder.
