Nottingham stabbings: Barnaby Webber's mum demands meeting with PM after killer 'got away with murder' Emma Webber, mother of 19-year-old Nottingham attacks victim Barnaby, said Valdo Calocane 'got away with murder' as families responded to the outcome of the inquiry The grieving mum of a 19-year-old killed in the Nottingham attacks has demanded a meeting with Keir Starmer after claiming the justice system allowed Valdo Calocane to "get away with murder". Emma Webber, mother of 19-year-old Barnaby, said "every single agency" failed to stop paranoid schizophrenic Calocane from murdering three people - and attempting to murder three others - during the rampage on June 13, 2023. Calocane, 32, is currently being detained in a psychiatric facility after admitting manslaughter on diminished responsibility grounds. After criticising a series of failings from NHS mental health services and the police, Ms Webber told reporters at the the families' press conference this morning: "Valdo Calocane got away with murder. He took three innocent lives, tried to take three more, and the system let him plead to manslaughter. No murder conviction, no trial, no proper punishment that reflects what he did. That decision robbed Barnaby, Grace, and Ian of justice, and it robbed us of the truth in a court of law. "Clear evidence has come forward to prove that Calocane did have a history, that there were areas of his life and background and behaviour that should have been explored. Evidence of his insight, his planning, and his culpability was overlooked by a weak prosecution and poor-quality expert witnesses. A seriously mentally unwell man, yes, but one that knew entirely what he was doing. Calling for a meeting at No 10 within the next month, she added: "We will not accept that a triple killer evades accountability through his own manipulation and legal technicalities. "We call today to meet with the government within the next month: the Prime Minister, the Attorney General, the Home Secretary, the Health Secretary, and the Justice Minister. The findings of this inquiry will not be made until the spring of next year; however, that does not prevent action from being taken now." James Coates, son of school caretaker Ian who was attacked roughly an hour after Grace and Barnaby, said the inquiry had uncovered the "true harrowing scale of the failures and laziness and negligence", including Nottinghamshire Police failing to carry out a warrant for his arrest prior to the attack, and the decision by NHS doctors and the psychiatrist to discharge Calocane doctors and a psychiatrist to discharge Calocane back out into the public because "they couldn't find him". He added: "The people of Nottingham and the British public at large put their trust in the police, the NHS and the judicial system. These institutions failed at every single level. We will continue to fight to the bitter end to ensure that absolute accountability is taken and that no other family has to endure the preventable torture we live with every single day."
