Cowardly child killer Thomas Cashman has been denied the chance to appeal his jail sentence - as his victim's fuming mother branded the murderer 'a cheek.' Cashman, 34, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 42 years for the murder of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in a botched gangland assassination attempt in Liverpool.
Olivia, a completely innocent bystander, died when the thug fired a bullet through the front door of her home in Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on August 22 last year.

Manchester Crown Court previously heard Cashman had ambushed his intended target, convicted drug-dealer and burglar Joseph Nee, in the street outside but his primary weapon, a Glock style self-loading handgun, jammed and allowed Nee to scramble to his feet and flee.
Nee then burst into the home of Olivia's mum, 48-year-old Cheryl Korbel, in a desperate bid to escape, with Cashman in hot pursuit.
As Cheryl tried to close the door and keep Nee out, Cashman fired the fatal shot from his back-up weapon, a revolver. The bullet passed through the door, through Cheryl's wrist and struck Olivia, who was hiding behind her mum.
