The family of a student stabbed to death in Nottingham say she was a “hero” who tried to save the life of her friend, who also died in the same attack. Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, both 19, were killed in June after a night out celebrating the end of their exams. Their killer, Valdo Calocane, also stabbed school caretaker Ian Coates to death as he made his way to work. At Nottingham Crown Court it was confirmed that Calocane’s guilty manslaughter plea had been accepted due to mental illness.
