The home of Thomas Cashman was found with its electricity supply "disconnected" and a CCTV recorder "missing", a jury heard today.
The 34-year-old is standing trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of the murder of schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel at her family home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on August 22 last year. Olivia was killed by a bullet that travelled through the front door of the house, through the hand of her mum, Cheryl Korbel, and struck her in the chest.
The gunman had been chasing 36-year-old Joseph Nee, who barged into the Korbel family home while fleeing for his life. Cashman, of Grenadier Drive in West Derby, denies the nine-year-old's murder or any involvement in the shooting that led to it.
