Man accused of Olivia Pratt-Korbel murder says: ‘I’m not a killer, I’m, a dad’

Thomas Cashman, 34, tells trial he was smoking cannabis at friend’s house at time nine-year-old was shot

The man accused of murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel, broke down in tears and told a court he was being blamed for something he had not done, when asked whether he killed the nine-year-old.

Thomas Cashman, 34, said he was not present at the murder and, at the time the nine-year-old was shot in her home by a masked gunman, he was smoking cannabis and counting £10,000 in cash at a friend’s house.
