The grieving mother of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, the innocent nine-year-old girl fatally shot in her own home, has made a desperate plea to her own son—suspected to be the gunman—urging him to surrender to authorities.
Cheryl Korbel, Olivia's devastated mother, spoke out in an emotional interview, revealing the unimaginable pain of losing her daughter to a senseless act of violence—one allegedly committed by her own child.
The tragic incident unfolded in Liverpool, where Olivia was caught in the crossfire of a targeted attack. The young girl's death sent shockwaves through the community, prompting a nationwide outcry against gun violence.
"I just want him to come forward," Cheryl pleaded, her voice breaking with emotion. "I can't bear the thought of him being out there knowing what he's done."
A Community in Mourning
The tight-knit Liverpool community has rallied around the grieving family, with vigils and memorials springing up across the city. Local residents have described Olivia as a "bright light" whose life was cut tragically short.
Police continue their intensive investigation, following multiple leads in their hunt for the perpetrator. Authorities have assured the public that no stone will be left unturned in their pursuit of justice for Olivia.
A Mother's Unthinkable Dilemma
Cheryl's public appeal highlights the extraordinary complexity of the situation—a mother torn between grief for her murdered daughter and concern for her accused son.
"I love him, he's my son," she confessed, "but what he's done... Olivia deserves justice."
The case has reignited debates about gun crime in the UK, with calls for stricter measures to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.
