Olivia Pratt-Korbel: Police pursuing ‘number of very positive lines of inquiry’ as they hunt gunman

In an update on the investigation into the “brutal, callous, thoughtless attack”, Merseyside Police Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen said the killer had failed to hand himself in. In a direct message to him, he said: “We will not rest until we find you – and we will find you.”

He was chasing 35-year-old convicted burglar Joseph Nee, who ran into the terraced house to get away from the shooter.

Despite being rushed to a children’s hospital by officers, Olivia died of her injuries in what police have branded a “shocking and appalling” crime.

Mr Kameen said Nee remains in hospital – and would be returned to prison once his treatment is finalised.

 

 

He said the man who was with Nee at the time of the shooting had been identified, but gave no further details.

The officer also said the driver of the Audi had been found and spoken to by police.

The investigation is “incredibly fast-paced” and “complex”, he said, reassuring the community that officers are working “relentlessly”.
