Correct. There was a warrant for his arrest that was not carried out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The judge mentioned that possibility before he sentenced him. The judge did say it was unlikely he would ever be freed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you not understand that? More thread spoiling from one of the usual suspects. 🙄 He wasn’t a psychopath, if he had been he would have been more easily managed On 23/01/2024 at 23:18, peak4 said: He hasn't been sentenced yet, so perhaps before speculating, folks should await the court's sentencing remarks; I would imagine they will be published in a case such as this. "Today at Nottingham Crown Court prosecutor Karim Khalil KC said the 32-year-old's guilty plea to manslaughter has been accepted after consultation with the victims' families. It is now down to the judge to decide what sentence he faces." https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/nottingham-attacks-live-valdo-calocane-9051747 I suspect it was always going to end this way given the attackers mental history; it strikes me that the victims, their families, and even the offender, were all failed by our mental health services ; and maybe the police are culpable too. It was known he'd been previously diagnosed, and also that he'd failed to take his medication. I'm sure folk will be investigating whether he should already been sectioned, and if not, why not. The relevant legislation regarding the differences between alternative charges are available here; https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/homicide-murder-manslaughter-infanticide-and-causing-or-allowing-death-or-serious Murder Subject to three exceptions (which constitute partial defences to murder, and result in a conviction for manslaughter) the crime of murder is committed, where a person: is of sound mind and discretion (sane) Manslaughter Manslaughter is primarily committed in one of three ways: Killing with the intent for murder but where a partial defence applies, namely loss of control, diminished responsibility or killing pursuant to a suicide pact. .................. Diminished Responsibility The defendant must prove the following four elements: the defendant was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning if so, whether it had arisen from a recognised medical condition if so, whether it had substantially impaired the defendant's ability either to understand the nature of their conduct or to form a rational judgment or to exercise self-control (or any combination) if so, whether it provided an explanation for their conduct: section 2 Homicide Act 1957 as amended by section 52 Coroners and Justice Act 2009 Be interesting to see what the enquiry into the case says about Mental Health Services.

If they don't then that's their failing, no one else's. Again. Irrelevant. You're just trying to deflect blame by the looks of things. They screwed up. 3 people died. There were Many red flags but they went ignored. Someone needs to be held to account. Simple as that. Agreed 1 hour ago, retep said: Until the next professional says he can be let out.

This was murder, pre meditated and nothing else. He knew what he was doing and had even spoken to his brother, to tell him "he'd done something". Three people are dead and this guy gets to live probably 30+ more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewalk Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 hours ago, Axe said: It is ludicrous his guilty plea for attempted murder was accepted while at the same time he has not been put on trial for murder for those victims who died. It should have been a jury who decided whether he was guilty or not guilty of murder and not Doctors. Very unsatisfactory. Although a trial might have been in the public interest and given families more satisfaction, the outcome would have been the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Sutcliffe pleaded not guilty for murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility at his trial but the jury found him guilty of murder. The CPS made a mistake in my opinion and the families opinion by accepting a not guilty of murder plea on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Five psychiatric reports all singing from the same hymn sheet. The judge could however have ignored the reports as they are only « advisory », as he said in his summing up. I think the psychotic phenomena in the Nottingham case was clearer than in Sutcliffes case.
