'Please lad, don't': The gangland 'rat' who made enemies everywhere he went - with an innocent nine-year-old girl paying the ultimate price instead
Thomas Cashman planned to kill Joseph Nee on the night of August 22 last year. That was before things went so horrifically wrong and nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel ended up in the firing line instead.
In other ways he is astonishingly fortunate. On three occasions, including August 22, someone has opened fire on the convicted burglar. Nee, then 23, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for drug supply offences. He was jailed for a year in 2011 for perverting the course of justice in relation to a gang of violent burglars, including his brother, Jason Nee, which threatened victims in their own home with weapons.
Nor did the jury hear any evidence of what motivated Cashman to take out his fellow drug dealer. Indeed, Merseyside Police say while they have received intelligence any theory would be “speculation”, and, in the words of Detective Superintendent Mark Baker, “we may never know” for sure. He also applied for sections of Nee’s statement to be admitted, without Nee being called as a witness.
But as Justice Yip ruled, the reality was that those names had been thoroughly checked out and their alibis held up to scrutiny.

Preterm birth and asthma and COPD in adulthood: a nationwide register study from two Nordic countriesPreterm birth affects lungs in several ways but only few studies have follow-up until adulthood. We investigated the association of the entire spectrum of gestational ages with specialist care episodes for obstructive airway disease (asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) at age 18–50 years. We used nationwide register data on 706 717 people born 1987–1998 in Finland (4.8% preterm) and 1 669 528 born 1967–1999 in Norway (5.0% preterm). Care episodes of asthma and COPD were obtained from specialised healthcare registers, available in Finland 2005–2016 and in Norway 2008–2017. We used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (OR) for having a care episode with either disease outcome. Odds of any obstructive airway disease in adulthood were 2–3-fold for those born |28 or 28–31 completed weeks, compared with those born full-term (39–41 completed weeks), persisting after adjustments. For individuals born at 32–33, 34–36 or 37–38 weeks, the odds were 1.1- to 1.5-fold. Associations were similar in the Finnish and the Norwegian data and among people aged 18–29 and 30–50 years. For COPD at age 30–50 years, the OR was 7.44 (95% CI 3.49–15.85) for those born |28 weeks, 3.18 (2.23–4.54) for those born 28–31 weeks, and 2.32 (1.72–3.12) for those born 32–33 weeks. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infancy increased the odds further for those born |28 and 32–31 weeks. Preterm birth is a risk factor for asthma and COPD in adulthood. The high odds of COPD calls for diagnostic vigilance when adults born very preterm present with respiratory symptoms.
