Merseyside Police held a press conference on Thursday with updates on the search for the nine-year-old’s killer. The force released CCTV footage of the attacker running from the house on Kingsheath Avenue in Liverpool where Olivia was shot last week. Detective Chief Inspector Mark Kameen said coroners concluded two weapons were used in the attack, but none had been found. “I believe at that time that the gunman brought both of these weapons with him and that they were still with him when he violently left Olivia’s house. I want to know where these weapons are now,” he said. He added that police hoped the CCTV would trigger people’s memories of that day if they saw the gunman in the area at around 10pm on Monday 22 August. The video shows a man wearing a black padded jacket and a black balaclava with a top and black gloves. Mr Kamin said the suspect was about 5ft 7in with a thin build. “This footage shows the gunman running along Finch Lane away from Kingsheath Avenue. You then see him turn right onto Berryford Road and out of sight. We know it climbs in and out of people’s gardens to avoid being seen,” Mr Kamin said.
