NOTTINGHAM ATTACKS INQUIRY REVEALS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE

The mother of a victim of the Nottingham attacks has said the public inquiry into the killings revealed a miscarriage of justice. Her statement follows the conclusion of proceedings examining the circumstances surrounding the June 2023 attacks, in which three people were killed. The inquiry was established to scrutinise the actions of public bodies in the lead-up to the murders. Her remarks represent one of the most direct assessments made by a victim's family member since the process concluded.

The attacks took place in Nottingham on 13 June 2023, when three people were killed and three others were injured. Valdo Calocane, who carried out the killings, had prior contact with mental health services before the attack. Concerns were raised by families and campaigners about whether the system failed to prevent the violence. The inquiry examined the conduct of multiple agencies, including health and criminal justice bodies involved with Calocane before the attack.

The characterisation of the outcome as a miscarriage of justice signals that at least some victims' families believe institutional failures were not adequately acknowledged or addressed. The inquiry's findings place pressure on the relevant public bodies to respond formally to the conclusions reached. Victims' families have consistently called for accountability from the organisations involved. No confirmed details of any further legal proceedings or government response have been published at the time of writing.
