Overview

  • On the second anniversary of the June 2023 stabbings, relatives of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates retraced the attack sites in Nottingham
  • A February report revealed Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust did not enforce long-acting antipsychotic treatment because Calocane disliked needles
  • Emma Webber and other family members allege ongoing cover-ups and mistruths in the mental health care leading up to the killings
  • Health Secretary Wes Streeting has promised to consult NHS leaders and decide in coming weeks whether to name clinicians involved in Calocane’s care
  • A statutory public inquiry is set to examine systemic failures across health and policing agencies and recommend measures to prevent future tragedies
