A review into the care of Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham in June 2023, has identified multiple errors and misjudgements.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) report emphasizes serious systemic failures in the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's handling of Calocane, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.
Despite repeated concerns and incidents, crucial risks were overlooked.
The victims, 19-year-olds Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and 65-year-old Ian Coates, were remembered in calls for a statutory public inquiry with the power to compel witness testimonies.
Calocane's violent actions, including a stabbing spree and vehicular attacks, were found to have been precipitated by inadequate mental health support.
Recommendations for staff training, robust discharge procedures, and improved patient-family engagement have been issued to prevent future tragedies.
