The trial of the man accused of murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel will not be held in Liverpool.
Thomas Cashman today pleaded not guilty to the nine-year-old's murder during a hearing at Liverpool Crown Court. This morning, Wednesday, Justice Amanda Yip KC ruled that the 34-year-old's trial will not take place in the city as expected.
It will instead be housed by Manchester Crown Square Crown Court, beginning on March 6 next year. The case is expected to last around four weeks.
