Attacks inquiry revealed 'miscarriage of justice' Just now Share Save Add as preferred on Google Asha Patel East Midlands Supplied Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley Kumar and Ian Coates were killed by Valdo Calocane on the morning of 13 June 2023 A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks revealed a "catastrophic collapse of responsibility" and an "undoubted miscarriage of justice", the mother of one of the victims has said. Valdo Calocane, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, stabbed to death Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, and tried to kill three others in Nottingham on 13 June 2023. The lead-up to the attacks and the aftermath were scrutinised during a 14-week public inquiry, which concluded on Friday . Speaking at a press conference in London on Monday, Barnaby's mother Emma Webber said: "It has been brutal, bruising and harrowing beyond measure - but it was so very necessary. " Webber added there had been "cover-up over candour". She said: "This wasn't bad luck. It was a catastrophic collapse of responsibility. An undoubted miscarriage of justice that must now be addressed." The bereaved families of Calocane victims called for change at a press conference on Monday The Nottingham Inquiry , the hearings of which began on 23 February, laid bare a series of failings by authorities, including the NHS and police, in the years leading up to the attacks and in the aftermath. Calocane is currently serving an indefinite hospital order after pleading guilty to three counts of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, and to three counts of attempted murder. The bereaved families have maintained the attacks were avoidable and never been happy with Calocane's sentence.
