Police did not arrest Notts killer for attacking two individuals earlier than rampage
The assaults occurred on May 5 on the Arvato warehouse in Kegworth, Leicestershire – lower than six weeks earlier than the lethal Nottingham assaults
The two victims had been work colleagues and following a violent showdown Calocane was thrown off the premises by safety employees regardless of police having been referred to as.
Yet regardless of a proper grievance subsequently being made Leicestershire officers failed to trace Calocane down and arrest him – although there was already a warrant out for his arrest from the neighbouring Nottingham constabulary after the brute beforehand assaulted one in all their officers.
Yesterday Leicestershire Police referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over its seemingly bungled investigation into the office assaults.
Calocane had began work on the warehouse on 1 May 2023 earlier than exploding in fury 4 days later.
A Leicestershire Police spokesman mentioned: “I can confirm officers were called to the warehouse in Wilders Way, Kegworth, shortly before 6pm on 5 May following a report two people had been assaulted.
“No critical accidents had been reported. It was reported Calocane had been escorted from the positioning by safety employees previous to police arriving.
“Our enquiries to establish the full circumstances of the report concerning the incident in Kegworth were ongoing at the time the incident in Nottingham occurred.”
Emma Webber, the mom of Nottingham sufferer Barnaby Webber, 19, has accused Nottinghamshire police chief Rob Griffin of getting “blood on his hands” over the nine-month failure to execute the arrest warrant.
She added: “If you had just done your jobs properly, there’s a very good chance my beautiful boy would be alive today.”
In an announcement the IOPC mentioned: “Following the sentencing of Valdo Calocane several incidents involving previous police contact with him have been brought to our attention which we were unaware of.
“As a result, we asked Nottinghamshire Police and Leicestershire Police to provide us with information promptly about those incidents to establish whether there are any matters that should be referred to us.
“We have this afternoon received a referral from Leicestershire Police about its investigation into assaults Valdo Calocane was alleged to have committed on 5 May 2023, which we are assessing to determine what further action may be required from us.
“In relation to a warrant being issued for Mr Calocane’s arrest in 2022 Nottinghamshire Police provided us with information about that shortly after the tragic events of 13 June 2023.
“We decided it did not meet our referral criteria because the contact had not been recent and no conduct issues were identified for any individual officer.
“Nottinghamshire Police subsequently carried out an internal review of matters linked to the warrant and we have now also requested details of that learning exercise, in case there are any issues that would require our involvement.”
