Nottingham attacks: attorney general considering killer’s sentence for review

Victoria Prentis to decide whether judges should look at Valdo Calocane’s detention order after families say it is unduly lenient

The attorney general is considering whether judges should review the sentence of the Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane after receiving a submission that it could be unduly lenient.

Calocane, 32, who goes by the name Adam Mendes, denied murdering Barnaby Webber, 19, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, 19, and Ian Coates, a 65-year-old school caretaker, but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
