A year on from the shocking murder of the innocent nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, her mother has said she still 'feels numb'.
Olivia was killed on August 22, 2022, after Thomas Cashman shot blindly through the front door of her family home on the hunt for convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee. Earlier this year, Cashman was convicted of murder and handed a life term sentence with a 42-year minimum term.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, mum Cheryl Korbel, who was also wounded in the shooting, said she remembers the day 'like it was yesterday'.

"I blinked and the last 12 months have just flown by. Numb," she added.
She said she planned to “constantly mention” Olivia’s name on the first anniversary of her murder.
Cheryl said Olivia left a lasting impact on the community and has since been remembered with a garden in Court Hey Park, Knowsley, which features a butterfly mosaic and will be used by schoolchildren for workshops.
She said: “It’s lovely. The kids can’t wait to come down in September and to start doing the workshops at the garden.
“Even when I go to the school, I still see the mums and dads and it’s lovely to still have that connection with the school and the mums and dads and the kids.
“They’ve all been touched by Liv, one way or another.”
She said the past year had been hard but, with the support of family and friends, she had been able to get through it.
Cheryl's cousin, Antonia Elverson, added: “She packed so much in to them little nine years and whether she was only borrowed to us for nine years, we had the most amazing nine years and that’s something that we will live with and we’ll carry her through with us.”
