and the , and the secretary of state hospital and the secretary of state forjustice but instead to a probation officer. such a probation officer would not be trained to spot the subtle signs of mental health deterioration and if they are identified, will not have the power to intervene to arrest any such deterioration. furthermore, there is significant concern that the present environment without rise to a risk in the event of a relapse, you present a real danger to prison officers and fellow prisoners alike. there will be cases where the protection of the public via a restriction order will outweigh the importance of appeal allowance and other cases where a greater public protection is provided by hybrid order. i am entirely satisfied on the evidence in the particular circumstances of this case and for the reasons i have given the proper sentence is a hospital order subject to a section 41 restriction order.

you will now stand for sentence to be passed. having heard the medical evidence which has been given in court and having read the reports prepared by them for the court, together with those from other doctors, all of whom were approved by the secretary of state under the mental health act i983i am satisfied that you are suffering from a mental disorder, namely paranoid schizophrenia. this disorder is of a nature which makes it appropriate for you to be detained in hospital for you to be detained in hospital for medical treatment. an appropriate medical treatment is available for you at ashworth secure hospital. i am of the opinion that because of all the circumstances in your case, including the nature of the offences to which he pleaded guilty in the history of mental illness and having considered all the available ways that i may deal

with you, the most suitable method of dealing with your case is by making an order under section 37 of the mental health act 1983. i therefore make an order under all six counts of the indictment that you will be readmitted to and detained at ashworth high security hospital. i have also considered whether this order should be subject to special restrictions, which are specified in section 41 of the act. in the light of the medical evidence which i have identified, i am satisfied that because of the nature of your offence and also having regard to your past, including your history of mental illness, and to the risk that you will commit further offences if you are not detained, it is necessary to protect the public from serious harm and it is not possible to say for how long that would be so. accordingly, i order that you would be subject to special restrictions set out in section 41 of the mental health act 1983. you may take him down.

i will add by way of postscript, that the investigation into this case was both lengthy and complex. those who played their part are to be commended for the extremely professional and skilful way in which they carried out their duties. the same applies to all those who helped in the aftermath of the shocking events of that morning. in particular, i would like to commend the members of the family liaison team, the three members of the cctv team, the three members of the cctv team, the three members of the cctv team, the scenes of crime officer, the files officer, the police and medical staff who attended on the

victims, together with all the other police officers involved in the investigation. i would also like to thank all members of the council teams and their solicitor colleagues for their hard work. the skilful way in which they presented their cases and for the positive and cooperative manner in which the case was concluded. last, but not least, i pay tribute to the members of the court staff whose hard work in accommodating and organising this challenging hearing has been exemplary. i will now arise. you were just listening there to mr justice turner, who was giving the sentencing of valdo calocane a, the 32—year—old who lastjune on the 12th ofjune 2023 stabbed to death 219—year—old students barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar. he then went on to stab ian coates and then attempted to murder three others.

the sentencing that you heard from mrjustice turner. he went through his reasons for the sentencing. he went through the history of mental illness that the defendant had displayed in the months and the years running up to this incident. and because of this he said in his sentencing remarks that you were and remain dangerous and for this reason he has been sentenced to indefinite time in a secure hospital. so readmitted to ashworth secure hospital, which is where he has been treated over the last few months. the judge there saying that first still having delusions, so still clearly suffering from mental health. thejudge said in his sentencing that it was not possible

to say how long he would be detained for. clearly he will be treated for his illnesses in prison but at the moment thejudge his illnesses in prison but at the moment the judge considers that he presents a significant danger to the public. of course, this was a crime which shocked many people, of course most of all the families of all of his victims. they will be giving some reaction after that sentencing but we do have this statement by barnaby webber�*s mother. true barnaby webber's mother. true “ustice barnaby webber's mother. true justice has _ barnaby webber's mother. true justice has not _ barnaby webber's mother. true justice has not been _ barnaby webber's mother. t'te: justice has not been served barnaby webber's mother. tte: justice has not been served today. we have been let down by multiple agency failings. the cps did not consult with us, as has been reported. instead, we have been rushed, hastens and railroaded. the first meeting we had with them at our behest was friday the 24th of november, a few short days before

the pre—trial plea hearing on the 28. forthe the pre—trial plea hearing on the 28. for the record, they had suggested meted as just an hour before the morning of the pre—trial hearing. something we felt was far too late. the decision had been accepted to accept manslaughter charges, no point during the previous 5.5 months were we given any indication that this could conclude in anything other than murder. we trusted in our system, foolishly as it turned out. we do not dispute that the murderer is mentally unwell and has been for a number of years. however, the premeditated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows and the brutality of the attacks are those of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. he knew entirely that it was doing. he knew entirely that it was wrong but he did it anyway. this has been a trial by doctors. why was there no mental health assessment during his time in custody? why was the first time he had an assessment was for the defence report only in

july? why did he not begin to receive any treatment for his illness until mid—september? why did he remain in prison until the 1st of november before being moved to a secure unit? and importantly? why did the doctor instructed by the cps in august wait until the 14th of november two interview and assess him? so many questions. to nottingham police. we additionally have grave concerns regarding aspects of the investigation. why were we repeatedly told throughout the summer that the offender was a sofa surfer and have no true abode? it is not true, he did. one that was registered in his name in nottingham and one that he had been in for about six months prior to his affection on the 11th ofjune last year. why? it took repeated questioning from us to finally receive an answer late last friday afternoon to the question of his

outstanding warrants. issued in september 2022 for a vicious attack on a police officer. such a violent assault that he was tasered. to the assistant chief constable rob griffin, who finally released this information publicly yesterday. i say this. you have blood on your hands. if you had just done yourjob properly, there is a very good chance my beautiful boy would be alive today. there is so much more to say and clearly serious questions regarding this case and events leading up to this monster being out in society. but for today, our darling son, his dearfriend grace and a wonderfully kind grandfather ian have been stolen from us forever and let down by the very system that be protecting them. trier? and let down by the very system that be protecting them.— be protecting them. very strong words that _ be protecting them. very strong words that by — be protecting them. very strong words that by emma _ be protecting them. very strong words that by emma webber, i be protecting them. very strong l words that by emma webber, the mother of barnaby webber, who was one of the two 19—year—old students

who were stabbed to death lastjune by valdo calocane. if you're watching at the last half hour you would have seen the sentencing remarks by mrjustice turner, as he sentenced the defendant to an indefinite time in a mental institution, a mental hospital. let's take a listen to his remarks. i am satisfied that you are suffering from a mental disorder, namely paranoid schizophrenia. this disorder is of a nature which makes it appropriate for you to be detained in hospital medical treatment. and appropriate medical treatment. and appropriate medical treatment is available for you at ashworth secure hospital. i am of the opinion that because of all the circumstances in your case, including the nature of the offences to which he pleaded guilty and the history of mental illness, and having considered all the other available ways i may deal with you, the most suitable way of dealing with your case is by making an order under section 37 of the mental health act 1983. i therefore make an

order under all six counts of the indictment that you will be readmitted to and detained at ashworth high security hospital. i have also considered whether this order should be subject to special restrictions, which are specified in section 41 of the act. in the light of the medical evidence, which i have identified, i am satisfied that because of the nature of your offence and also having regard to your past, including your history of mental illness, and to the risk that you will commit further offences if you will commit further offences if you are not detained, it is necessary to protect the public from serious harm. and it is not possible to say for how long that will be so. accordingly, i order that you will be subject to special restrictions, set out in section 41 of the mental health act 1983. you may take him down. fist health act 1983. you may take him down. �* , ., , down. at the beginning of his sentencing — down. at the beginning of his sentencing remarks, - down. at the beginning of his sentencing remarks, mr- down. at the beginning of his i sentencing remarks, mrjustice turner talked about this as being a sickening crime, which had shocked the nation and he said wrecked the life of the surviving victims and

their families. life of the surviving victims and theirfamilies. and he went life of the surviving victims and their families. and he went through all of those who have been most affected by this. he named every member of the families of all of those who had been affected. let's have a look at the background to this case. this is the moment valdo calocane, a killer who caused carnage on the streets of nottingham, was caught. an hour and a half earlier, cctv footage show his first two victims, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, 19 your students walking back from a night out, unaware that they will never make it home. the night before, valdo calocane, who is 32, arrived back late in nottingham by train from london. he walks around the city for several hours before his attacks begin at 4am. several hours before his attacks begin at tam-— several hours before his attacks

just to let you know, the sentencing finished about ten minutes or so ago. we know that all of the families, members of the victims were in court. we are told by our correspondence that were inside court that they were emotional scenes, not surprisingly. we do have a camera outside the court and we are expecting statements from the family members from the three families of the people who were killed. of course, rememberthere were six victims. he stabbed to death barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates. but having commandeered ian coates's van he then drove around and attempted to murder wayne birkett, marcin gawronski and sharon miller. so six victims in total but we are

expecting to hear from victims in total but we are expecting to hearfrom barnaby webber's family, grace o'malley—kumar�*s family and ian coates's family. we will bring that to you as soon as they emerge from court. clearly a very emotional time from them —— for them. clearly they were one to have time to gather their thoughts, were one to have time to gather theirthoughts, having were one to have time to gather their thoughts, having listened to their thoughts, having listened to the sentencing remarks from mr justice turner. now, it is worth playing again i think because it is important for us to understand that the families do have concerns with the families do have concerns with the legal process, how the legal process and the process in general has been carried out. and one of the family members, emmett webbie deliver webber, who is barnaby whether�*s mother did give a statement to the bbcyellow true justice has been served today —— emma webber. the justice has been served today -- emma webber.— justice has been served today -- emma webber. ,, ., . ., , emma webber. the cps did not consult with us, as emma webber. the cps did not consult with us. as has — emma webber. the cps did not consult with us, as has been _ emma webber. the cps did not consult with us, as has been reported. - with us, as has been reported. instead, we have been rushed, hasted and railroaded. the first meeting we

for us. clearly a very upsetting day for all the family. i know they were emotional scenes in court but you can hear there the level of anger from the three family members. they feel, as james coates said, that this man has got away with murder. grief, raw anger, from back injune when these attacks happened. that is not going to go away. it has been harrowing over the last few days for the family in court, hearing details about what happened on gin the 13th, hearing all the details and then hearing all the details and then hearing about the psychiatrist and valdo calocane's mental state. as you can see behind my shoulder, the families are still over there just talking to members of the press. there is quite a lot of them as you can see. it is very packed courtroom, court room one, has been like that for the last few days. no

seats were available. there were always family members there, members of the press as you can imagine and a lot of lawyers and councils and that sort of thing. yes, it looks like now they are making their way away from the tv cameras and microphones, going into various taxes and little minibuses that i can see here. yes, you could hear, couldn't you? the anger and the grief, we heard from a mark webber that true justice has not been served today, they foolishly trashed and in the system, and that she did not dispute that he was unwell, but the premeditated mate nature of the attacks, he was hiding in the shadows and knew what he was doing, and she turned to the nottingham police and said there was blood on their hands and if theirjob had been done properly, her boy could still be alive today. and then as

you are seeing there, we heard
