The mum of murdered nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel has told LBC she was robbed of the opportunity to tell her daughter’s killer how much pain he has caused her family.

Cheryl told LBC: “I was shocked, because I didn’t realise he had a choice [not to attend the sentencing]. Angry, because he’d been there through the whole trial as myself and my family had been there for the whole trial.

"I still go and see them, as hard as it is, because they’re not stopping me from going down. They’re not ruining anything else." "Olivia Pratt-Korbel's senseless murder at the hands of Thomas Cashman shocked and sickened the nation," he said in May. "Having received detailed legal advice and considered the issues raised very carefully, I have concluded Cashman's case cannot properly be referred to the Court of Appeal.
