Shocking report finds another patient being treated by the same trust was arrested for Stabbing five people in one weekend just months before Calocane’s attacks
Nottingham knife killer not forced to take long-lasting antipsychotics due to fear of needles, damning report reveals
Triple knife killer Valdo Calocane was not forced to take long-lasting antipsychotics because he did not like needles, a damning report outlining a litany of failings in his care has revealed.
The independent investigators also found 15 other incidents where patients cared for by the mental health trust involved in Calocane’s treatment also committed “extremely serious” acts of violence, including one patient stabbing five people over the course of a weekend just months before Calocane carried out his attacks.
The shocking findings were revealed following an about-face by NHS England (NHSE), after the organisation initially refused to release the full report on the grounds that it would breach Calocane’s privacy.
