Valdo Calocane was given an indefinite hospital order for the killings of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in June 2023.
Valdo Calocane, 32, stabbed university students Barnaby Webber, 19, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65,In January, Calocane was given an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter by diminished responsibility, after Nottingham Crown Court heard he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
Speaking at the hearing, Deanna Heer KC, representing the Attorney General’s Office , said Calocane should instead be given a life sentence as part of a “hybrid” order, where he would be treated in hospital before serving the remainder of his sentence in prison. She said: “We were presented with a fait accompli that the decision had been made to accept manslaughter charges.
“However the pre-mediated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows and brutality of the attacks are that of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. He knew entirely that it was wrong but he did it anyway.”"He understood the nature of his conduct" “Having identified that the offender’s culpability was low, the learned judge failed to consider the aggravating features which required an uplift from the starting point for a single offence.
