Nottingham Attacks: Families Say They're 'TRAUMATISED' By Leaked Police Messages

The mother of one of the Nottingham attack victims has written an open letter to members of a police WhatsApp group in which a message was posted describing her son as being “properly butchered”.
Emma Webber, the mother of Barnaby Webber, 19, who with Grace O’Malley-Kumar, 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, was stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane, has written to the Nottinghamshire Police officer who she says posted graphic details of the victims’ injuries in the chat group.
Calocane, 32, carried out the fatal stabbings with a dagger in Nottingham in the early hours of June 13 last year, and attempted to kill three others.
In January he was given an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter by diminished responsibility, after Nottingham Crown Court heard he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
Mrs Webber has shared an open letter to “the WhatsApp group of police officers who discussed the attack” as she has been denied the opportunity to speak to the group “privately and anonymously”, she said.
Mrs Webber said the “callous, degrading and desensitised manner” of the comments has caused “more trauma than you can imagine”.
Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by political commentator Benedict Spence to discuss.
