A recent report has found that prosecutors were justified in accepting manslaughter pleas from Valdo Calocane for the Nottingham attacks in the early hours of 13 June last year, which resulted in the deaths of students Grace O'Malley-Kumar, Barnaby Webber, both 19, and 65-year-old school caretaker Ian Coates. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Inspectorate concluded that accepting Calocane's pleas of manslaughter by diminished responsibility rather than pursuing murder charges was the correct course of action. Emma Webber, whose son was a victim, expressed being 'disappointed but not entirely surprised' by the decision. This case has sparked a widespread call for the overhaul of murder laws, with entities including the CPS watchdog, victims' families, and various news outlets advocating for changes to better address such crimes in the future.
