The Audi is believed to have been used to take convicted burglar  Joseph Nee to hospital from Olivia's home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on Monday, August 22. Nee was the man chased in to the nine-year-old's home and shot by the killer of Olivia.

Nee was collected by a dark-coloured Audi and dropped off at hospital, leaving Olivia and her mum, Cheryl, behind. Police have seized the Audi, which is in the process of being forensically examined.

A police spokesperson said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who saw this car in the days leading up to the shooting, or has any information about its movements after leaving Kingsheath Avenue on the night."

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.”

An investigation remains ongoing and anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC or contact @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 with reference 22000621096.
