Investigation into Leicestershire Police contact with Valdo Calocane before Nottingham killings reopened

An investigation into the contact Leicestershire Police had with Valdo Calocane a month before he killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham in June 2023 is to be reopened after representations by their families and our legal team.

Solicitor Neil Hudgell said: “We have repeatedly raised serious concerns over a lack of thoroughness, which in our view made this investigation insufficient and incomplete. Any other outcome than what has been announced today would have been perverse.”

Family say vulnerable woman died of ‘non-intentional starvation’ after social services ‘failed and forgot’ her

A vulnerable woman with schizophrenia was left to starve to death in her social housing flat as she was ‘failed and forgotten’ by adult social care, her family say.

Relatives of Laura Winham, 41, had been estranged from her, having reluctantly kept their distance at her insistence, as her schizophrenia caused her to believe they would harm her. Following an inquest into her death, Laura’s siblings Roy and Nicky said:

Laura should never have lost her life to mental health and we hope no other family goes through what we have, trying to navigate the mental health service with no prior experience and certainly not enough support.
