The Public Inquiry into the 2023 Nottingham attacks opened its formal hearings today, examining the events that led to three deaths and left three others seriously injured in the city centre. The Inquiry is chaired by Her Honour Deborah Taylor.
On 13 June 2023, Valdo Calocane (VC) brutally killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham city centre, before driving into and seriously injuring three pedestrians, Wayne Birkett, Sharon Miller and Marcin Gawronski. The purpose of the Inquiry is to build a clear understanding of the events, acts and omissions that led up to VC carrying out these brutal attacks. The Inquiry will provide a Report and recommendations so that lessons can be learned to prevent similar attacks.
Nicholas Jones and Lance Baynham are instructed as members of the Counsel to the Inquiry team.
