A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks has been announced.
Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and Ian Coates, 65, were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham on 13 June 2023.
The case, which resulted in Calocane being sentenced to a hospital order in January 2024, sparked a number of reviews including an investigation into the mental healthcare he received.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the families of those killed and injured in the attacks an inquiry will take place in “a matter of weeks”.
During a meeting at No 10 on Wednesday, the families were told by the PM that a “number of different agencies” would be scrutinised.
Calocane killed Mr Webber, Ms O’Malley-Kumar and Mr Coates, before using Mr Coates’s van to drive into three pedestrians – Wayne Birkett, Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller – in the city centre.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility and three counts of attempted murder.
