A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a nine-year-old girl was fatally shot in her own home.

Olivia Pratt-Korbel was shot in the chest as her mother struggled with a gunman at the door of their house in Dovecot, Liverpool, on Monday night.

Merseyside Police said a 36-year-old man from Huyton was being held in custody.

He was also arrested on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder.

The suspect was arrested after an operation involving armed officers in Merseyside on Thursday night.
