The murderer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel has ‘failed to learn the error of his ways’ after it was revealed he is dealing drugs and has an illegal phone in prison. Thomas Cashman, 36, was convicted of the little girl’s murder in 2023 after she was tragically killed in her home when she was caught in the crossfire of a gangland shooting in Liverpool in 2022.
He was jailed for life after shooting Olivia and injuring her mum, Cheryl, as he chased a fellow drug dealer into their home.
But a source has told The Sun that Cashman has been caught with cocaine, cannabis, and an iPhone in his cell.
‘He is said to have been selling drugs on the wing and has established himself there as a top dog,’ a source said.
‘He has totally failed to learn the error of his ways and is still dealing drugs behind bars.’
Olivia’s death was one of three fatal shootings within a week in Liverpool last August, with council worker Ashley Dale, 28, killed on 21 August and 22-year-old Sam Rimmer fatally injured on 16 August. It is feared that the drugs and illegal phone were dropped into Long Lartin prison by drone.
