Olivia died on Monday night when a 35-year-old man, unknown to the family, ran into her terraced house in Kingsheath Avenue, in the Dovecot area of Liverpool, in an attempt to get away from a shooter.

The man who was being chased suffered several gunshot wounds to his upper body while Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel was shot in the wrist.

Olivia was hit by the same bullet that hit her mum and despite police officers rushing her to hospital she died from her injuries.

The man, who has been repeatedly shot in his upper body, was collected by friends in a black Audi. They then took him to hospital as the mother and daughter lay wounded.

Police outlined a full timeline of what they believe happened in a press conference yesterday (Tuesday 23 August).
