Nottingham inquiry hears Elias Calocane questions over brother’s “red rum” texts

A public inquiry examining events leading up to the Nottingham triple killings hears evidence about text messages sent in 2020 by the victim’s brother, Elias Calocane. Elias Calocane gives testimony about messages in which his sibling used references including “red rum.” The inquiry questions whether Elias interpreted these messages as threatening or indicative of intent to harm at the time. Elias is asked about his understanding of the messages and whether he believed they related to murder or another context. The evidence is presented as part of the inquiry’s effort to assess what was known, when it was known, and how relevant information was understood by those closest to the events. The sessions focus on the communications between family members in the period before the killings, and how those communications were perceived by Elias Calocane. The inquiry continues as further evidence is considered.
