Olivia, nine, was killed when a gunman carrying two firearms burst into her home on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on August 22. The killer had been chasing convicted drug-dealer Joseph Nee, who was wounded along with Olivia's mum, Cheryl Korbel.

Merseyside Police last week said ballistic scientists had matched markings bullets fired at Nee to a Glock 9mm self-loading handgun, while the shot that killed Olivia was fired from a .38 calibre revolver.

While there were no records of the revolver being fired before, scientists found that the Glock had been used in two previous shootings in the local area, including an incident at 8.50pm on January 27, 2020, when a 19-year-old man was wounded on Wimborne Close, Dovecot.

Stalker called ex a 'little tramp' in vile Monzo bank payment references

A stalker sent his ex girlfriend money 41 times to try and communicate with her after she blocked his number.

Jack Roach, 29, of Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port, sent 41 different payments into the Monzo account of 24-year old Rachel Thomas-Tear when she blocked him on social media following the collapse of their three month relationship. During his bizarre spree Roach left abusive messages in the payee reference box on transactions so mum-of-one Miss Thomas-Tear could read them whenever his payments cleared.

The victim subsequently opened her online bank statement to see a string of deposits made by Roach under the references: "Unblock me to talk", "Scruffy little s**g" and "Little tramp, no wonder you have got no one".

A woman was "fuming" when her knee length holiday dress barely covered her stomach.

Tori Walker bought a £13.49 crochet beach cover-up for her holiday to Thailand with fiancé Ben Nelson. The online photo showed an olive-coloured dress with long tassels which covered the model's thighs and reaching her knees.

However, the 25-year-old was surprised when the package arrived and the garment was in fact more like a crop top. She said: "It was just so funny. It’s really short and gappy. When I took it out of the bag I was so confused.
