Police sorry for failing to arrest Calocane before killings, Nottingham inquiry told
AI Summary
A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks heard apologies from two police forces and the NHS for failures related to Valdo Calocane before he killed three people in June 2023. An arrest warrant for Calocane, issued in September 2022 for assaulting an emergency worker, was not executed, allowing him to later assault colleagues and then murder Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates. The police acknowledged their failure to execute the warrant in a timely manner, while the NHS admitted to missed opportunities in Calocane's care. The inquiry is examining the events and omissions that allowed Calocane, who had paranoid schizophrenia, to be free to commit the attacks. Bereaved families criticized any suggestion that arresting Calocane earlier would not have made a difference.
