Aerial footage shows arrest of suspect held on suspicion of Olivia Pratt-Korbel's murder

Police have released aerial footage depicting the arrest of a 36-year-old man accused of the murder of a nine-year-old girl in Merseyside. Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot dead on Monday evening after a gunman barged into her family home in Dovecot, Liverpool.

It's thought the gunman was targeting two men at about 10pm when Olivia's mum opened the door to see what was happening, before one of the targets forced his way into the home. A 35-year-old man shot during the attack was arrested by police on Wednesday for breaking his licence conditions.

Detective Superintendent Mark Baker said: "Although we have made an arrest in connection with the horrific murder of Olivia, I want to make it completely clear that we need any information about this vehicle or the wider investigation as much as ever.

"Whatever information you have, and whether you are sure that it is the same vehicle or not, pass it on and we will assess its importance."
