The Nottingham Inquiry is an independent statutory inquiry which was established in May last year and has been holding hearings since February.

Its purpose is to establish a clear understanding of the events that led up to Calocane’s attacks on June 13, 2023.

On that day, he fatally stabbed University of Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar on Ilkeston Road, before heading to Magdala Road, where he killed school caretaker Ian Coates.

After taking Ian’s van, Calocane drove to the city centre, where he ran over Wayne Birkett on Milton Street and Sharon Miller and Marcin Gawronski at the junction of Market Street and Upper Parliament Street.

Calocane was given a hospital order in January 2024, having pleaded guilty to three charges of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, as well as three counts of attempted murder.

Before the attacks, Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, had interacted with mental health services and the police, having been involved in a number of assaults on his flatmates, coworkers and a police officer.

Hearings for the inquiry, which are being held at Mary Ward House in central London, are due to finish in June.

Its chair, retired judge Her Honour Deborah Taylor, is expected to provide a report and recommendations by May 2027.
