Mystery over missing gun used to murder Olivia Pratt-Korbel as killer stays quiet
Sick child killer Thomas Cashman, who received life behind bars for the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, nine, has refused to name his boss.
The detective superintendent described the use of multiple guns in the horrific shooting as concerning but the now locked-up Cashman refuses to help.
DS Baker confirmed the 34-year-old murderer has refused to name who he is working for and who he was supplying drugs to, LiverpoolEcho reported.

The police official said: “Whether he was working for anybody else; he’s refused to name. He was asked point blank, who supplied his drugs, he refused to name them.

“He refused to name people he was supplying drugs to. The extent of his drug dealing, he admitted himself he was a high level drug dealer.”
Cashman’s failure to name his supplier or those he was supplying to has hindered investigations and questions over “unfinished business” appear to have the investigations team worried.
Addressing the two missing weapons, DS Baker added: “Firearms on the streets of Merseyside, always bothers us. The fact that the two guns that were used in the murder are out there, really concerns us as an investigation team.

“We appeal for people to come forward who have got knowledge of any guns and we want them off the street.
“We are really keen for them, like other people have done during the course of the investigation, to tell us where those guns are and allow us to take them off the street and stop this happening to anybody else.”
Police investigations into Cashman are still ongoing, and DS Baker said the next steps are establishing a “reasonable line of enquiry” to establish whether Cashman was working for anyone else.
At this moment in time, DS Baker says that is just “speculating” but the information fed to court by Cashman could point toward working with other criminals.
