Court Upholds Hospital Order for Nottingham Attacker Valdo Calocane

Appeal to impose prison time for triple killer rejected; families express dismay at ruling

  • Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham last year, will remain under an indefinite hospital order.
  • The Court of Appeal rejected the Attorney General's request to increase Calocane's sentence to include prison time.
  • Calocane was found guilty of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility caused by paranoid schizophrenia.
  • The families of the victims criticized the decision, arguing that justice has not been served.
  • Lawyers debated whether Calocane's crimes warranted a hybrid sentence combining hospital treatment and imprisonment.
