Valdo Calocane, labeled as the 'Nottingham knife killer' and convicted for the manslaughter of three individuals, is at the center of a national debate on the adequacy of his sentence and the broader functioning of the UK's criminal justice system. Calocane, who is currently held in a mental institution indefinitely under the Mental Health Act 1983, is entitled to a review every three years, which has been criticized as an insult to the victims' families, particularly the Nottingham victims' families. The bereaved, including Emma Webber, James Coates, and Dr. Sanjoy Kumar, have expressed the profound impact of the tragedy. Calocane was also sentenced for attempted murder and is under a hospital order with a s.41 restriction. There are concerns regarding missed opportunities for intervention, as Calocane had assaulted two individuals weeks before the knife rampage and was not arrested. Families of the victims are calling for a public inquiry to investigate potential failures in preventing the attacks. The Attorney General is considering a review of the sentence, and there is a growing call for a public inquiry into the case.
