A getaway driver will be sentenced for assisting Thomas Cashman after he shot dead nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Paul Russell, 41, admitted driving Cashman away from an address where he fled to after the murder on 22 August last year.
Russell pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court in October but the media was unable to report on it until the conclusion of Cashman’s murder trial.
Cashman was convicted of the murder of Olivia at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday afternoon.
Russell is also said to have disposed of a bag given to him by Cashman, which he believed to contain clothing, by passing it to another.
At 7pm Sky News will broadcast a special programme: The murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel
