A 34-year-old man has been charged with murdering Olivia Pratt-Korbel nearly six weeks after she was shot in the chest at her home in Liverpool.
A second man, Paul Russell, 40, of Snowberry Road, also in West Derby, has been charged with assisting an offender.
Ms Corr said the charges had been authorised following"the review of a file of evidence received from Merseyside Police". "We have had an overwhelming response and support from the public since the tragic murder of Olivia and I would ask for your continued support so we can keep the promise we made to Olivia's family and the local community to ensure that those involved face justice."
There have been 11 arrests over Olivia's death so far, with nine men previously detained as part of the wide-scale investigation, all of whom were later bailed.The Crimestoppers reward for information to catch the alleged killer was also increased to a record £200,000 - the charity's biggest ever single offer.
