Families want reassurance Valdo Calocane will never be released

The father of Nottingham stab victim Grace O'Malley Kumar today said bereaved families need 'black and white' reassurance that triple killer Valdo Calocane will never be released.

'There are so many people that are released from public orders and what we want is something in black and white or there has to be a change in the law... that this man can never be released because he is too much of a risk to the public, but we need that in black and white we need that reassurance,' he told Good Morning Britain.

'Not just for us we need it for our children. When we are gone do you think it is fair that our children should be worried about this man being released or members of the public?' She told Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid today they had to make Calocane that two per cent of people who are not released.

'This is just the first step. It has been the case from the beginning that we needed this to be a public inquiry.' One of his victims was 19-year-old first year student Grace O'Malley-Kumar, who was stabbed to death while walking home in the early hours of June 13 last year In a statement following the Court of Appeal's decision not to change the sentence of Valdo Calocane, Barnaby's mother Emma Webber said: 'Today's ruling comes as no surprise to the families of the Nottingham attack victims.'Despite the fact that the Attorney General herself feels that Valdo Calocane did not receive the appropriate sentence, today's outcome proves how utterly flawed and under-resourced the criminal justice system in the UK is.

'The families have raised their concerns already with the Government with regard to obvious errors and omissions that have resulted in this tragedy.' Dr Sinead O'Malley and Dr Sanjoy Kumar, parents of Grace O'Malley-Kumar, Ian Coates's son James Coates and Emma and David Webber, parents of Barnaby Webber, are pictured speaking to the media outside the Royal Courts of Justice last Wednesday

'Had the offender not suffered the mental condition that he did, the sentencing judge would doubtless have been considering a whole life term.
