Rishi Sunak says he's 'very sympathetic' to Nottingham attack victims' families

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he is “very sympathetic” to the concerns of the families of the Nottingham attack victims, but said ongoing investigations need to play out.

Mr Sunak said: "I've met with Grace and Barnaby and Ian's families relatively recently in Downing Street and I've spoken to them previously. It just an absolutely shocking tragedy that, I think, really shocked all of us. Mr Sunak, who was speaking during a visit to Heanor, in Derbyshire, said an ongoing investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct and the Court of Appeal’s consideration of the sentence of Valdo Calocane needed to run their course.He said: "I'm very sympathetic to what they've been through and what they're asking for, which is why we're taking action in all those areas and need to just let the processes play out properly. That's the right thing to do.

The families of the victims have criticised Nottinghamshire Police for what they have described as “serious concerns and ongoing mismanagement” and called for a public inquiry. The force has referred itself to the IOPC over its handling of disciplinary procedures relating to officers viewing material relating to the case who did not have a legitimate reason to do so.
