Brother feared triple killer would take his own life The brother of the Nottingham attacks killer has said he feared Valdo Calocane was going to take his own life, a public inquiry has heard.
Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, stabbed to death Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham on 13 June 2023.
