Valdo Calocane stabbed to death Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar on 13 June 2023, before killing Ian Coates and trying to kill three others. The Nottingham Inquiry heard how Calocane refused consent for toxicology samples while he was in custody after the attacks. On Wednesday, Grace's father Dr Sanjoy Kumar said it was, therefore, "disgusting" that the bodies of his daughter and her friend and fellow student Barnaby were tested for drugs or alcohol after they died.
