Medic's chilling warning was ignored and Calocane was released two weeks later

A PSYCHIATRIST warned in writing that Valdo Calocane could "end up killing someone" three years before his Nottingham rampage left three people dead.
The accurate assessment was revealed in a 300-page medical report conducted after Calocane was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020.
This was one of a series of missed opportunities over three years that could have "prevented the killings, Calocane's mother and brother told BBCT's Panorama last night.
The alert from the medic was ignored and, instead of preventative action, Calocane was released from medical care two weeks later.
He later went on a killing spree through the streets of Nottingham in June last year, stabbing to death university 'students Bamaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and caretaker Ian Coates, 65, as well as crashing a van into three other people.
The families of the victims yesterday said mental health services had "blood on their hands" after a review found they "minimised or omitted" the serious risks Calocane posed.
The Care Quality Commission report stated Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust played down his psychosis symptoms and his refusal io take medication.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Attorney General Richard Hermer confirmed to the families in a meeting yesterday that a public inquiry will be held into the failings that led to the tragedies.
Guilty
The killer, 32, was sentenced in January to an indefinite period in a high-security medical facility after pleading guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
The families of lan, Grace and Barnaby said in a statement: "This report demonstrates gross, systematic failures in the mental health trust in their dealings with Calocane, from beginning to end.
