Conviction Appeal Denied for Olivia Pratt-Korbel's Killer

Thomas Cashman's bid to challenge his conviction is dismissed by the Court of Appeal, maintaining his life sentence.

Thomas Cashman, convicted of murdering nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, has had his appeal rejected by the Court of Appeal.
Cashman was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 42 years for the 2022 murder in Liverpool.
His appeal alleged jury irregularities, including claims of jurors being given panic alarms and unpresented evidence, but lacked supporting evidence.
The Crown Prosecution Service opposed the appeal, citing no evidence of jury misconduct.
Full written reasons for the Court of Appeal's decision to dismiss the appeal will be published at a later date.
