Nottingham attack victim's mum 'validated' as officer says he felt killings 'were murder'
Inquiry probes why police did not arrest Valdo Calocane despite a warrant and mental health history before his June 2023 killings of five people in Nottingham.
- Emma Webber's mother told Sky News it felt like validation after police admitted they believed the Nottingham killings were murder during Wednesday's inquiry, which ended up on that day.
- The public inquiry examines why police did not arrest Valdo Calocane, who killed three in June 2023 and had an outstanding arrest warrant issued more than nine months earlier.
- A separate trial this year shows the 23-year-old defendant called 911 after leaving home around 9 a.m., but Lockyer said, 'Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn as to whether the data was a timestamp, and if so, what it may represent.'
- Victims' families reacted that new disclosures left them 'shocked and horrified' as a former police officer apologised for not taking a hair sample, while defence lawyers cited lack of consent and no drug history email.
- The inquiry will press on with questions about missed warrants and evidence gaps, while victims' families say each new disclosure reveals troubling evidence and institutional resistance.
