Valdo Calocane, 32, who killed three people in Nottingham, has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order at Ashworth high-security hospital by Nottingham Crown Court after pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to mental illness. The victims were university students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, who were fatally stabbed during a van and knife rampage on June 13, 2023. Grace's family, who had hoped for a murder trial, revealed her last moments were spent in pain as she tried to save her friend. Calocane made chilling calls to his brother during the attacks and was reported to have 'heard voices' telling him to kill. The families of the victims, including Grace's brother James O'Malley-Kumar, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the verdict, feeling that justice has not been served. Nottinghamshire Police have faced criticism for failing to apprehend Calocane for nine months despite a warrant for his arrest, and questions have been raised about the failures of the police, CPS, and health service to prevent the attack. It has emerged that Calocane could be eligible for release in three years under the terms of the hospital order.
