The tragic murder of three innocent victims by Valdo Calocane is simply horrific. The independent criminal courts, including the Court of Criminal Appeal, have passed sentence on Mr Calocane, and the department properly does not comment on the decisions of the independent judiciary. The Prime Minister has announced a statutory and judge-led inquiry into the case. It will look at how different agencies, including health and social services, the police and the criminal justice system work together, and it will examine any multiagency failings that took place in the lead-up to this tragic killing. It will also establish a comprehensive timeline of Valdo Calocane’s interaction with public services.
