A record sum of £200,000 has been offered by Crimestoppers for information leading to the killers of Olivia Pratt-Korbel. Merseyside police and Crimestoppers held a joint press conference on Wednesday in Liverpool where the announcement was made in which the police urged people to come forward with information. £100,000 was put forward by the charity’s founder, Lord Ashcroft, and as much again by a second, anonymous donor.

Nine men have been arrested since Olivia was shot and killed on the 22 August at her home in Liverpool. All have been released without charge
