Our response to the conviction of Thomas Cashman for the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel

“Our charity has been supporting Merseyside Police since Olivia’s tragic murder and this verdict provides some justice for her family, friends and for the wider community across Merseyside and beyond.

“Crimestoppers would like to thank the people of Liverpool who trusted our charity with their information. I would also like to thank the anonymous donor whose support meant that we could offer a combined record high reward of £200,000 to help secure a conviction. By working together, we can all make a difference.

“Please remember that if you have crime information - but prefer not to speak directly to the authorities – please visit Crimestoppers-uk.org or call our 24/7 UK Contact Centre on 0800 555 111. Our charity is always here for you and guarantees you will remain 100% anonymous. Always.”
