‘The events in Nottingham in the early morning of 13th June 2023 prompted an outpouring of collective grief. Valdo Calocane killed three innocent people and attempted to kill three others. The suffering for the victims’ families was palpable. Calocane was originally charged with murder and attempted murder. The Crown Prosecution Service later decided to accept the guilty pleas to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility. The reports of four separate psychiatrists all agreed that Calocane was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning which arose from a recognised medical condition, and which substantially impaired his ability to form a rational judgment and to exercise self-control, such as to provide an explanation for the killings. He was sentenced in January of this year to a Hospital Order subject to restrictions (pursuant to sections 37 and 41 of Mental Health Act 1983).’
