Olivia Pratt-Korbel's family release cherished videos of nine-year-old smiling, dancing and laughing
Dancing and twirling her long hair around in the air, nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel is captured smiling and joking on camera in cherished home video footage released by her grieving family as her killer starts a life sentence for murder.
Manchester Crown Court heard on Monday, in a moving victim impact statement read aloud by her mother Cheryl Korbel, of how generous Olivia had been planning on donating 12 inches of her hair to the Princess Trust to help sick children. In the videos, Olivia is dancing, singing and laughing in her living room. The family previously paid tribute to the "unique, chatty, nosey little girl who broke the mould when she was born".
Sentencing Cashman, Justice Amanda Yip said: "The killing of Olivia Pratt-Korbel is an offence that shocked not only the city of Liverpool, but the nation. Olivia’s name is likely to be remembered for many years.
