- MARTIN FRICKER

CHOKED with emotion, relatives of the three Nottingham attack victims comforted each other at a vigil yesterday.

The families of Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar laid flowers at the spot where they were killed.

They gathered with hundreds of friends one year on from the stabbings which shocked the UK.

University of Nottingham students Barnaby and Grace, both 19, were walking home when they were attacked by Valdo Calocane, 32.

The paranoid schizophrenic also knifed school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, to death as he drove to work. Barnaby's dad David, 52, and Grace's parents Dr Sanjoy Kumar and Dr Sinead O'Malley, embraced as they laid tributes.
