A MAN has pleaded not guilty to the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Thomas Cashman, 34, appeared via videolink wearing a pale-coloured polo shirt at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday.
Olivia was fatally shot by a gunman who chased convicted burglar Joseph Nee into her home in Dovecot, Liverpool, on August 22.
Her mother, Cheryl Korbel, 46, was also injured in the shooting, which happened just after 10pm.
Cashman, of West Derby, Liverpool, entered not guilty pleas to Olivia's murder.
He pleaded not guilty to attempted murder of Nee, the wounding with intent of Olivia's mum Cheryl Korbel, and two counts of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Ms Korbel was in court along with other family members, some of whom shook their heads as the not guilty pleas were entered.
