Re: African Immigrant NUTTER-Triple Killer, Sent to High-Security Mental Hospital
Nottingham Attacks: African Immigrant, Triple Killer to Be Detained in High-Security Hospital
Attorney General reviews whether sentence of Nottingham knifeman Valdo Calocane is too lenient after families of three knife victims slam authorities for allowing killer to 'get away with murder'
MailOnline 26 JAN 2024
Valdo Calocane, 32, stabbed three people in Nottingham early on June 13, 2023.
Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and Ian Coates, 65, all died
Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in "frenzied and relentless" attacks in Nottingham, UK, is to be detained in a high-security hospital. He was given a hospital order at Nottingham Crown Court after admitting three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility.
Judge Mr Justice Turner
The judge told Calocane: "You were, and remain, dangerous."
A judge handed down a hospital order to the 32-year-old, who has paranoid schizophrenia and whose pleas to manslaughter by diminished responsibility were accepted earlier this week.
The families of the three people he killed have reacted angrily to the sentencing and accused prosecutors of a 'fait accompli' in accepting a manslaughter charge rather than perusing a murder verdict.
A spokesman for Attorney General Victoria Prentis confirmed her office had received a referral arguing the sentence administered yesterday had been unduly lenient.
