Mum of Nottingham victim slams NHS for washing their hands of Calocane — leaving him free to kill
THE furious mother of Barnaby Webber has accused the NHS of washing its hands of violent patient Valdo Calocane — leaving him free to kill her teen son and two others.
Emma Webber, 51, spoke out as a string of catastrophic failings emerged in Calocane’s mental health treatment before he launched his devastating stabbing spree last year.
The killer, 32, was controversially handed a hospital order for manslaughter by diminished responsibility due to his paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis.
A shocking review, released today, into the NHS trust where Calocane was treated prior to the attacks reveals officials missed at least eight chances to stop him killing.
One doctor warned he could kill, three years before the Nottingham attack. Incredibly, the Trust discharged him back to his GP in September 2022.
Nine months later, he killed Nottingham University student Barnaby and his friend Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, plus school caretaker Ian Coates, 65.

The government cutbacks on mental health and policing are to blame.
NHS needs to ditch its far-left ideology otherwise this will happen again and again.
Remember they are locking people up for mean tweets. Shows the double standards of the justice system.
It was reported that he said he didn't hear voices anymore and did that get him discharged
You cant blame NHS blame the courts
You are A wonderful Mother so sad .😢😢💕🙏🌻
They have public enquiries and at the end of the enquiry they say lessons will be learned but are they? Because it happens again and again So sorry for the families and rip to the victims 😢
Very sad. Nobody who works in NHS cares.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No words 😢 🙏 🤲
Not another usual suspect what done this
Isn't there injections that last several months that can be given instead of tablets.
This poor lady, a child born of love, killed by a ………..waste of space,
Listened to this on the radio this morning on the way to work. The fact that a professional actually said they think he may kill someone, is shocking 💀
The NHS will say they need more money. They always do
Immigrant?
Such a brave and strong lady. My heart feels pain for her. May her son and the other innocent ones who had their lives taken so cruelly, Rest in peace 🕊️
This women should be so proud. She has articulated herself to the finest! ❤
I’m sorry but what do you expect when there is zero accountability in the law against government worker NHS negligence? Don’t complain when you choose the cheapest quality healthcare system. Oh I’m sorry, I just watched BBC so I mean “the best system in the world” and “at least we are t like the Americans paying $20k for a broken leg”. Yeh, right.
The people running the country don’t have a clue how to run the country its there to see the usless
I work for the health service and I have done that type of work and I always said to myself these people should not be left out and they keep saying Well is fine or she’s fine whatever no answer in my life and my experience is not to let them out anything all is alright now and he’s on tablets if you know they are not safe and that’s one thing that helps your service should learn not to let these people out it’s so dangerous you don’t know are their minds are working and what the suffering with so therefore you don’t let them out as simple as that they won’t have this problemI heart aches for these people who got killed in Nottingham for no reason I cried when I heard this about this and I said to my husband Jean to let him out there now he’s got mental issues and his skips a funny one recorded a couple of that word and it broke my heart was no need for this always seems to be the person who’s done it on the side more than the people I’ve got cute thank you I’m so sorry
Yes they have blood on their hands. 100 %. The authorities need to be held to account. Shocking lack of care.
Should never have been in the UK
Whose White descendants will be the next victims? 😤😡 STOP IT NOW OR NEVER
The family are blaming the NHS but if one of my children had an illness I would be in my car and there for them. I would take them back home and make sure that they got the care they required mentally or physically. He was in Nottingham and they stayed in wales getting phones calls knowing he was hearing voices. I call that someone who is washing their hands of them and leaving them for the state to deal with . As a mother she should have taken full resposibliity from the first day he broke into the neighbours house or the first phone calls received .You cannot sit back and leave it to the NHS they are your child no matter how old they are. Where was the parental responsiblity. Harsh but true
Loved ones should sue. The stabber, if he’s an immigrant, deport to his own country
The three victims looked so lovely, normal & kind, nothing can justify this!! What the fudge is going on? 🤬
That’s the issue with the police and nhs they can’t help unless you act on it so stupid why not act on it and prevent it
I would like to see this wonderful woman made Baroness like Stephen Lawrence' Mother. God bless x
Who actually said Diversity is our Strength?
Sounds to me like another "right wing" mother complaining about a mentally ill man, neglected by the NHS. I mean, what other explanation could there be ? I guess she will be arrested and charged soon. The Police were clearly busy checking Facebook posts and folks getting their pronouns wrong.
How was these 3x killings and 3x serious injuries 'Man Slaughter'?
NHS has fallen… I went to the hospital due to a work accident and the lady on the desk was very rude I could tell she was a sad person but what more shocked me was the fact that the doctor didn’t know how to print a discharge letter or use the equipment
She’s a Wonderfully Articulate Lady.
God Bless Her and The Families.
So very sorry it should never have happened 😢
There are no excuses. He shouldn’t have been here. And why is he still here???
And don’t forget, If the perpetrator was a white man he would simply have been dismissed as ‘evil’ and the case closed. But because it is a blcak man, the establishment are desperately scrambling to try and find excuses for him.
Somebody should be named and jailed
What's with these guys just casually wearing balaclava's now? Just hanging out, wearing a ski-mask…WTF?!
All im saying is don't take this the wrong way, poor mother for losing her kid, but if he was white, it wouldn't be about 'mental health', wouldn't it.
There are political reasons why this tragedy happened. Even though they weren’t yet in power when the tragedy occurred, it is everything to do with the current administration.
It's very strange how many people from 3rd world countries have mental health issues.
Our perfect nhs, the most wonderful thing in the world. We should defend at all costs…. no! 99% great, caring people, but the institution is dreadful. No accountability and failing everywhere you look.
the nun is absolutely right.! the murdered girls father worked in the NHS he must feel completely devastated.
Eloquent, truthful, broken hearted and determined. My heart goes out to you and all those who have suffered through this avoidable tragedy. All the “lessons will be learnt” have led us to now. Culpable failure from those we pay to be the guardians of our safety, I include those who are not in their right minds here. I’ve seen it close hand. What an utter disgrace. Unfit for purpose.
I’ll be brutally honest. It may be gruesome on their workplace but YOUR SON has LOST HIS LIFE. It’s the most precious gift every single one of us has and therefore those in medical field who had been neglectful and indirectly caused your son’s loss of life as a result should be held accountable .
