Thomas Cashman

Kayleeanne Sweeney turned up every day during the trial at Manchester Crown Court, which saw her boyfriend Thomas Cashman convicted of Olivia's murder.

The fact that Cashman was indeed a 'dad' clearly counted for nothing. It was a former lover, appalled by what he had done, who found the bravery to speak to police. But police say bullet casings recovered from the scene matched some of those used by Cashman on the night Olivia was murdered. That sense of fear was also felt in the community where Olivia was gunned down. Miraculously, nobody was injured in the attack and the gunman escaped. And on Christmas Eve in Wallasey, Wirral, Elle Edwards was fatally injured when a gunman opened fire outside the Lighthouse pub. The teddy was a tribute to Olivia that was also carried at her funeral And fears of getting caught in the cross fire has led to Liverpudlians taking extreme action. Cashman was convicted of Olivia's murder yesterday - and may have avoided justice altogether after Liverpool's criminal fraternity closed around him. The source said he was known for being ambitious and violent, adding: 'When I met him, which was 2018, He was just a skinny little rat with a firearm. It is not clear how the homemade vest was made. Going to the shops is dangerous.

In the words of DS Baker: “In his police interviews Cashman showed no remorse for his actions. When asked why, he said: “He was known as a hitman in the area.” As calm and calculated as Cashman came across in court, the woman’s evidence was anything but. Guilty of Olivia's murder, guilty of the attempted murder of Joseph Nee, guilty of wounding Cheryl Korbel, guilty of possessing firearms with intent to endanger life. Her descriptions of her relationship with Cashman, and his lack of sexual prowess - “a thug with a little willy” as she described - made for compelling reading, but Mr Cooper’s intent was deadly serious. He wanted to do him before he did him.” She said Cashman told her: “I didn’t know where else to go, but I trust you.” If there was any ambiguity about what Cashman was referring to, there was none in what he said next. According to Cashman, he was a “high level” drug dealer in the Dovecot area, making between £3,000 and £5,000 per week selling cannabis. Cashman responded: “If I let people do that all the time I wouldn’t be able to sell cannabis. Traits useful in someone willing to execute another man in a gangland hit, the jury may have reasoned.

The bullet hit Ms Korbel in the hand, then hit and killed her daughter Olivia who was standing behind her. But he was able to get away from 34-year-old Cashman due to one of the guns malfunctioning. Cashman did not give up and pursued Nee to the address.

Paul Russell pleaded guilty to assisting an offender, disposing of the clothing worn by Thomas Cashman, and driving him back to his van.

Nee was shot in the midriff at this point and stumbled to the floor as a result of his injuries. Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel then tussled with Nee in an attempt to keep her front door shut and to keep him out of the property, but the assailant fired another shot with a second gun - a revolver - at this point. The defendant also stated he had "no problems" with the Nee family and counted them as friends. Cashman also claimed that Russell owed him a £25,000 drug debt - which he said had led to him issuing threats to take hold of his graft phone and car - and suggested that she had been motivated to frame him for the £200,000 Crimestoppers reward money. Cashman had allegedly told the woman upon his arrival at the address that he "didn't know where else to go" and "trusted" her. Dad-of-two Cashman was given a navy blue pair of his co-defendant's Under Armour tracksuit bottoms during his pitstop at the woman's home.

Thomas Cashman was trying to kill Joseph Nee when he fatally shot the schoolgirl.

The bouquet, which was filled with pink and white roses, was left with a note which said: "So sorry for your loss of beautiful Olivia.

He suggested she was a "woman scorned", that she was "angry and vindictive", and that she was so "bitter" at Cashman refusing to leave Ms Sweeney to be with her that she was willing to "stitch him up" for the murder of a little girl. Cashman would have had to suffer from astonishingly terrible luck if he was the victim of a stitch up. In the words of DS Baker: "In his police interviews Cashman showed no remorse for his actions. As calm and calculated as Cashman came across in court, the woman’s evidence was anything but. Also that in court he portrayed himself as a family man and a loving dad to two children, aged four and 14. Shocking details revealed in the jury's absence however was that Cashman is a suspect in a previous attempt on Nee’s life just two weeks before Olivia was killed. However the man said Cashman and his organised crime group "ran the streets" in Dovecot and described him as "feared". Due to Thomas Cashman's lifestyle and notoriety, it was becoming ever more clear that if you crossed him you could well find yourself looking down the barrel of a gun. He said: "I personally never had any problems with them, he was genuinely never bad to me like." According to the ECHO, as the case wore on Cashman’s portrayal of himself as “not a bad drug dealer” and friendly neighbourhood weed supplier who only sold to people he knew, began to fray. On the evening of August 22 last year Cashman was on a mission however to execute convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee. There was just one occasion when the 34-year-old appeared to break down telling the jury: "I’m getting blamed for killing a child.

Paul Russell disposed of the clothing gunman Thomas Cashman was wearing but the jury weren't told he had already pleaded guilty to this.

Nee was shot in the midriff at this point and stumbled to the floor as a result of his injuries. He had admitted being a "high level" drug dealer who made up to £5,000 per week selling cannabis, and his various trips around the area throughout the day were apparently concerned with his involvement in the supply of the class B substance. Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel then tussled with Nee in an attempt to keep her front door shut and to keep him out of the property, but the assailant fired another shot with a second gun - a revolver - at this point. The defendant also stated he had "no problems" with the Nee family and counted them as friends. Cashman had allegedly told the woman upon his arrival at the address that he "didn't know where else to go" and "trusted" her. Cashman also claimed that Russell owed him a £25,000 drug debt - which he said had led to him issuing threats to take hold of his graft phone and car - and suggested that she had been motivated to frame him for the £200,000 Crimestoppers reward money. His account from the witness box was that he had received the incriminating clothing at an earlier date, following a sexual encounter with the woman. Dad-of-two Cashman was given a navy blue pair of his co-defendant's Under Armour tracksuit bottoms during his pitstop at the woman's home. Russell then drove Cashman to Aspes Road, where he had parked his Citroen Berlingo van before heading to the scene of the shooting on foot. Russell later took these clothes round to the home of Craig Byrne, an associate of the murderer, on Snowberry Road as he walked his dog late that night. This was an apparent reference to Joseph Nee, the intended target of the attack. He will be sentenced at a later date, having been remanded into custody since the date he was charged with the offence in September 2022.
