LIVE: Nottingham attack families – report ‘catastrophic failure’
University students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham on June 13 2023.
Triple killer Valdo Calocane not forced to take his anti-psychotic medication because he did not like needles, a major review of his NHS care has revealed.
It laid out how Calocane, with paranoid schizophrenia, had no contact with mental health services or his GP for about nine months prior to the killings – and discharged after failing to engage with them.
Mr Webber’s mother Emma described the report as a “horror show”.
In response, the government repeated its commitment to an inquiry into the attacks, with work ongoing to establish its scope.
The NHS said it had taken the decision to publish the report in full, in line with the wishes of the families, and “given the level of detail already in the public domain”.
The case, which resulted in Calocane being sentenced to a hospital order in January 2024, sparked a number of reviews including the mental health homicide review, commissioned by NHS England.
