Nurse tells inquiry killer 'deceived and out-manoeuvred' medical staff

A former NHS nurse has told a public inquiry that Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham in June 2023, 'deceived and out-manoeuvred' medical staff. Gary Carter, who was Calocane's care coordinator for five months in 2022, said the trust 'failed' to manage his care. Calocane had a history of not taking his medication and moved between addresses. He was discharged in September 2022 before the attacks that killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates.
