The dark truth about Thomas Cashman... a drug dealer turned child killer who became the most hated man in Britain
Thomas Cashman 'ran the streets' of an inner-city suburb and was 'feared' by those who came across his path, a friend revealed today after the hitman was found guilty of the murder of innocent Olivia Pratt-Korbel, a smiley nine-year-old schoolgirl with her whole life in front of her.
One shot passed through the front door, through 46-year-old Cheryl’s right wrist, and into the chest of St Margaret Mary's Primary School pupil Olivia. Detective Superintendent Mark Baker, who led the investigation, described the case as the 'worst thing I have ever investigated' in his 30-year police career.
Without much prompting, Cashman himself offered a glimpse into his mentality, and his standing in the underworld. He said: “I personally never had any problems with them, he was genuinely never bad to me like.” However the man said Cashman and his organised crime group “ran the streets” in Dovecot and described him as “feared”. When asked why, he said: “He was known as a hitman in the area.”
The second was close to playing fields off Ackers Hall Avenue, around the corner from Olivia’s home, on August 8 last year, when the Glock was fired “indiscriminately” as two “rival groups” faced off. During a legal discussion in the absence of the jury, it was revealed that the target of that shooting was Joseph Nee, and that police considered Cashman a suspect.
At great personal cost, she gave detectives the key to solving Olivia’s murder, and the investigation team had a platform to build their case on. The woman explained how she awoke late on August 22 to find Cashman in her bedroom, holding his head in his hands. As calm and calculated as Cashman came across in court, the woman’s evidence was anything but. Her frustration and anger at the questioning of Professor John Cooper, KC, defending, spilled over on several occasions, leading to Mrs Justice Yip asking her to calm down.
The jury may have concluded she was used by Cashman, used for sex and then arrogantly used to try and get off the streets when his plot to execute Nee went so horribly wrong.
