Olivia Pratt-Korbel's aunt Louise Pratt says the family is "happy with the outcome" of the sentencing of Cashman, and says her niece died a "scared nine-year-old" and hopes Cashman is "haunted by this knowledge for the rest of his life".
Olivia's mum Cheryl says "justice has prevailed" but that her family "has already started our life sentence" without Olivia.
Merseyside Police's Mark Baker says "today's sentence will never bring Olivia back".
