Gangsters ‘put £250k bounty on head of thug who shot Olivia Pratt-Korbel dead’
Brit gangsters have reportedly slapped a £250,000 bounty on the head of child killer Thomas Cashman in the hopes of silencing him.
Cashman, 34, who was recently found guilty of the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, nine, made no friends after his sickening actions, with mob bosses thought to have turned on him.
Sources told The Sun a £250,000 hit has been put on his head over fears he could rat out his former colleagues for an easier time inside prison.

Other sources have indicated Cashman could be the missing link to three other unsolved deaths, but whether Cashman blabs on his mob bosses remains to be seen.

Cashman will be sentenced today (April 3) at Manchester Crown Court, and while it is not yet known which prison he might be sent to, gangsters are wanting someone to “kill him”.
The unnamed source told The Sun: “The figure being spoken about is £250,000 to silence him — kill him. He knows everything there is to know about organised crime, drugs and violence in that area.
“His knowledge and testimony could cause a world of pain for some very big criminals who do not want their activities being looked at.

“He has nothing to lose — he is cornered. There’s lifers who will be mixing with him in months and years to come who will not think twice about carrying it out.”
In return for ratting out his gangster associates, Cashman could receive a cushy prison cell or frequent checks on his welfare while he serves out his life sentence.
The 34-year-old had been associated with a paramilitary-style crime group which operated across Merseyside, with Cashman alleged to possibly hold key information regarding major crimes in the area.
