UK

Two men held over the fatal shooting of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel in Liverpool have been released on bail.

Police arrested a 36-year-old man from Huyton and a 33-year-old man from Dovecot on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Both have been released on bail and the 36-year-old has been recalled to prison after breaching the terms of his licence.

In an update on Saturday afternoon, officers said they “still need people to come forward”.

Detectives are trying to “build up a strong evidential picture and bring those responsible to justice”.

Information about a car is being sought, Merseyside Police said.

“We are still appealing to anyone who saw a black Audi Q3 in the days leading up to the shooting, or has any information about its movements after leaving Kingsheath Avenue on the night of the shooting,” the force said.
