Valdo Calocane, later convicted over the killings of three people in Nottingham, was discharged from mental health services because staff could not locate him, according to evidence heard at an inquiry. BBC News and Sky News report that Emma Robinson, a figure connected to the case, tells the inquiry that NHS staff “couldn’t work with” or find Calocane at the time he was discharged. The accounts describe a breakdown in follow-up or contact during his period in mental health services, with discharge occurring despite ongoing concerns about his wellbeing. Both outlets state the discharge happened months before the attack. The reports highlight a dispute or failure around how Calocane was monitored and supported while under NHS mental health care, and the inquiry is examining the actions taken by services around the point of discharge. The coverage does not indicate new clinical details from the discharge itself, but focuses on the reported inability of staff to find or engage him and the timing in relation to the later violence.
