Watch: Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s school friends issue powerful plea on anniversary of nine-year-old’s murder

Pupils from Olivia Pratt-Korbel’s school have pleaded for peace to mark the anniversary of her death.

In a poignant video, children and members of the community – including Olivia’s mother Cheryl Korbel – read a poem about the power of community spirit following the murder of the nine-year-old last August.

Thomas Cashman, 34, was jailed earlier this year for a minimum of 42 years for the murder of Olivia, who was shot in Dovecot, Liverpool, after Cashman chased another man into her home.
