Nottingham Attacks: Missed Chances to Intervene

About this episode

In a chilling turn of events, Valdo Calocane, a paranoid schizophrenic, escalated from a flatmate confrontation to a deadly rampage. Despite earlier incidents, including headbutting a police officer, Calocane was not arrested. His flatmate, trapped in a headlock, suffered a stiff neck but was advised to rest. Tragically, Calocane later fatally stabbed three people and injured three more, leading to his indefinite detention in a high-security hospital.

On March 5th, an inquiry into the Nottingham Attacks revealed how killer Valdokalokane trapped his flatmate in a headlock on January 15th, 22, 2022. The paranoid schizophrenic held him there after a confrontation, but police took no action despite the call. The flatmate had confronted Callacane over a messy bathroom in their shared student house. Callacane lunged with a punch, they wrestled, and he refused to let the man leave the flat while staring him down. Meanwhile, the flatmate described it feeling like a hostage situation, especially with others nearby at first. He ended up with a stiff, painful neck, but the responding officer dismissed and suggested restorative justice instead of an arrest. This incident followed Callacane headbutting and punching a police officer just months earlier in September 2021. Then, on June 13th, 2023, he fatally stabbed two 19-year-old university students, Barnaby Weber and Grace.

O'Malley, Kumar, plus 65-year-old Ian Codes, and tried to kill three more people. Callacane now faces indefinite detention in a high security hospital after pleading not guilty to murder. These hearings keep highlighting chances to intervene before the deadly rampage. These hearings keep highlighting chances to intervene before the deadly rampage.
