A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks revealed a “catastrophic collapse of responsibility” and an “undoubted miscarriage of justice”, the mother of one of the victims has said.
Valdo Calocane, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, stabbed to death Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, and tried to kill three others in Nottingham on 13 June 2023.
Speaking at a press conference in London on Monday, Barnaby’s mother Emma Webber said: “It has been brutal, bruising and harrowing beyond measure – but it was so very necessary. “
Webber added there had been “cover-up over candour”.
She said: “This wasn’t bad luck. It was a catastrophic collapse of responsibility. An undoubted miscarriage of justice that must now be addressed.”
