EXCLUSIVE - more disturbing revelations in Nottingham killings of Grace O'Malley-Kumar, Barney Webber and Ian Coates. Nottinghamshire police failed to warn bereaved families that a mentally ill stalker, with a history of threats and police contact, was attempting to locate them. Barney's parents are "staggered" that they were not told for 18 months the man had travelled to Somerset to try and find them. He also attended Grace's father @drsanjoykumar GP surgery wanting to talk about his imagined claims of a coverup in the case. Families left distressed after learning this man was sectioned, only to abscond from hospital - yet even then there were delays in telling them. And police claimed he only wanted to "offer help" and his nurses did not believe he was a threat [not much reassurance to families whose loved ones were killed by Calocane who was sectioned four times]. Police are now facing serious questions about why they did not tell them this man had been referred to Prevent, the violent extremism scheme. They still do not know why. Astonishingly this has only come to light because the stalker, still thought to be sectioned, has made a complaint that the police watchdog hasn't properly investigated his coverup claims. Emma Webber: “It is yet again a systemic lack of transparency, inadequate risk assessment and a severe breach of duty. We have been denied the right to protect ourselves.” She says it is "profoundly upsetting" she and family weren't given warning, particularly as this man travelled to the town where her son Charlie was at school. Sanjoy Kumar notes the contrast that the family of his daughter's killer were offered protection and CCTV by police over concerns about reprisals after attacks in June 2023. “We as victims do not even get a fair warning at the time that this man was missing from being sectioned and trying to find us. This is how the country treats victims, we are second-class citizens.” Full story: thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl… @MrsEmmaWebber
