Valdo Calocane was given an indefinite hospital order for the killings of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in June 2023.

The Attorney General’s bid to change the sentence of Valdo Calocane is set to be considered by the Court of Appeal.

Attorney General Victoria Prentis referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal in February, claiming it was “unduly lenient”. The sentencing judge, Mr Justice Turner, told Calocane at the city’s crown court that his “sickening crimes” meant he would likely be detained indefinitely in a high-security hospital “very probably for the rest of your life”.

The families of the victims have previously criticised Calocane’s sentence, with Mr Webber’s mother, Emma, claiming in January that “true justice has not been served”.
