Appeal court rules against jail time for Nottingham attacker Valdo Calocane

Attorney general fails to secure more punitive sentence for 32-year-old who killed three people last June

The Nottingham attacker Valdo Calocane, who stabbed three people to death in the city last year, will not be sent to prison after the court of appeal rejected an application to increase his sentence from an indefinite hospital order.

Calocane, 32, was sentenced in January after pleading guilty to three counts of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to paranoid schizophrenia, and three counts of attempted murder,.
