"Families of three people murdered by a schizophrenic man in Nottingham have branded the NHS trust that treated him "not safe," demanding special measures following a critical report into its mental health services. Following Wednesday's publication of an inspection into Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, relatives of Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates expressed a "real fear" that "further disasters are inevitable." Valdo Calocane, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, killed Mr Webber and Ms O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and caretaker Mr Coates, 65, in Nottingham last June, also attempting to kill three others. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) report criticised the trust's mental health services, which treated Calocane from May 2020 to September 2022, for not always providing "humane, dignified or high quality care" to patients. Between May 2024 and August 2025, the CQC carried out 39 inspections at the trust, before a trust-wide review of its leadership was carried out last September."
