Judge-led inquiry into Nottingham attacks announced

A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks has been announced.

Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and Ian Coates, 65, were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham on 13 June 2023.

The case, which resulted in Calocane being sentenced to a hospital order in January 2024, sparked a number of reviews including an investigation into the mental healthcare he received.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the families of those killed in the attacks an inquiry will take place in “a matter of weeks”.
