UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Nurse Reveals Schizophrenic's Skills at Masking Symptoms. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 29th, a nurse just testified that Vado Callacane, the paranoid schizophrenic who stabbed three folks to death in Nottingham on June 13th, 2023, was straight up skilled at masking his symptoms. He took out Barnaby Weber, Grasso Mali Kumar, and Ian Coates, plus tried to kill three others, all while under NHS Care from Nottinghamshire. Health care trust until they cut him loose in September 2022 for not showing up. Their coordinator, Claudia Bertels, handled his community treatment for nearly two years, starting June 2020 after his first psych ward stay-in. May 2020, he racked up four mental health-acted missions by February 2022, but kept dodging meds and denying his illness. Bertels admitted their trust broke down after he read her report on his non-compliance, and she called him polite, despite knowing about his attacks on. Cops and break-ins, the team skipped long-acting injections his mom even asked about, betting he'd stick to pills instead.
Inquiry folks called that, discharge absurd. No chat with his GP, fresh eyes needed, and Bertels agreed it looked off. Callacane's locked in a high-security hospital on an indefinite order now, as the probe keeps uncovering these gaps.
