Starmer pledges inquiry into Nottingham knife rampage

Labour's promise to victim's mum

- ASHLEY COWBURN

LABOUR leader Keir Starmer has promised to order a judge-led inquiry into the Nottingham knife killings if he gets into No10.

The victims' families have said there were missed opportunities to prevent the horrific rampage by Valdo Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenia sufferer.

Calocane killed Grace O'Malley-Kumar, Barnaby Webber, both 19, and Ian Coates, 65, in the early hours of June 13 last year.

Failings by police, mental health services and the NHS are still being investigated.

In January, Calocane was given an indefinite hospital order after pleading guilty to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
