The mother of murdered Olivia Pratt-Korbel has called for help to remember her daughter – ahead of what would have been her tenth birthday.
Cheryl Korbel, 47, had her child taken from her forever in a horrific shooting in Liverpool by killer Thomas Cashman on August 22 last year.
Now Ms Korbel is determined that Olivia be remembered for the bright and beautiful person she was.
She has today called for help to build a memorial park in Olivia’s name, according to The Mirror.
‘Liv will never be forgotten but this garden is about keeping her memory alive. When people see her name we want them to remember our beautiful and sassy Liv,’ she said.

Ms Korbel said that on Olivia’s ninth birthday, June 13, 2022, she decorated the living room because her daughter wanted a party.
‘I’d have probably gone and done the same for her 10th birthday,’ the mother said.
The family are set to celebrate Olivia’s tenth birthday at a private party, but also want to decorate a tree on a patch of land they wish to become her memorial garden in Dovecot, Liverpool.
Thomas Cashman, 34, was meant to kill drug dealer Joseph Nee, 36, but ended up shooting Olivia through her mother Ms Korbel’s hand at their home in Dovecot.
Cashman had tried to carry out his hit job on Nee while he was walking home from a friend’s house, but his gun jammed and Cashman’s target fled, barging into Olivia’s home in a bid to save himself.
