Thomas Cashman is now serving the first stretch of a life sentence of at least 42 years after he was convicted for Olivia's murder at Manchester Crown Court.
A jury heard how Cashman had laid in wait for convicted drug dealer Joseph Nee on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, on August 22 last year.
At around 10pm, the 34-year-old, open-fired on Nee with a Glock self-loading pistol, shooting him three times.
