Nottingham attacks led to ‘miscarriage of justice’, says victim’s mother

  • The mother of Barnaby Webber, one of three victims killed in the Nottingham attacks, warned that similar tragedies will happen again without urgent action and accountability.
  • Emma Webber stated there was a "catastrophic collapse of responsibility" and a "miscarriage of justice" in the case of Valdo Calocane, who killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in June 2023.
  • Victims' families asserted that "every single agency failed" in their duties, citing failures by mental health services, police, and a lack of inter-agency communication.
  • They called for immediate accountability for these failures, including holding individuals, such as executives at the health trust that treated Calocane, responsible.
