His Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Inspectorate (HMCPSI) has called for significant changes to how homicide is dealt with by the legal system as part of its review into the Crown Prosecution Service's (CPS) handling of the Nottingham attacks

The families of the Nottingham attacks victims have called for law change after being left "disappointed" at the results of a review into the Valdo Calocane case. His Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Inspectorate has asked the Government to consider making significant changes to how homicide is dealt with by the legal system as part of its review into the Crown Prosecution Service's handling of the Nottingham attacks on June 13, 2023.

Pointing to a copy of the report in her hand as she spoke to broadcasters in London, Mrs Webber added: "There's a clear part in here that says the 2006 Law Commission recommended the law should change to bring in degrees of murder. It clearly says he would have been tried as a murderer, which he clearly is.

The families said justice had not been served, saying the sentence was too lenient, and that they'd been presented "with a fait accompli", as the decision had been made to accept manslaughter charges.

“It is unimaginable having to deal with the death of a loved one under such horrific circumstances, but having to deal with the criminal justice system at a time of heartbreak and grief adds a further dimension of challenge.
