Woman who fell from window fleeing Nottingham attacker warned he could have killed her

A public inquiry reviews police and clinical decisions after a woman sustained serious spinal injuries fleeing a suspect who was later convicted of multiple killings.

  • At Mary Ward House in London, a judge-led inquiry is examining missed opportunities after a 24 May 2020 break-in at Brook Court, Radford.
  • After detention, officers relied on a psychiatrist's view that Calocane was 'not in touch with reality', and Nottinghamshire Police failed to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service as policy required.
  • Leaning from a first-floor window to call for help, the 22-year-old nursing student from Italy slipped and fell about 10 to 12ft, suffering serious back injuries requiring spinal surgery and constant pain.
  • More than 100 witnesses are expected to give evidence until June, and Nottinghamshire Police has apologised for a systemic operational failure, with an inquiry timetable of nine weeks.
  • Following his June 2023 sentencing to an indefinite hospital order, the inquiry aims to enhance police and NHS procedures, as Valdo Calocane later killed three people and attempted to kill three others in attacks in June 2023.
