THE families of the victims of triple killer Valdo Calocane have reiterated their calls for a public inquiry into the deaths, after the Court of Appeal heard a bid to change his sentence.
Three families of stab victims call for inquiry

The relatives of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates said “failure upon failure upon failure” contributed to the killings in Nottingham on June 13 last year.

They spoke after three judges heard a bid from the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) to change Calocane’s sentence, arguing that the indefinite hospital order he was given in January was “unduly lenient”.

Lawyers told the hearing that the 32-year-old, who has paranoid schizophrenia, should be given a life sentence as part of a “hybrid” order, meaning he would be treated in hospital before serving the rest of his sentence in prison.
