The mother of Nottingham stabbing victim Barnaby Webber has warned 'difficult discussions' need to be had over how authorities are influenced by racism, as she drew comparisons between her teenage son's killing and the tragic murder of Henry Nowak.
For more than three months, Emma Webber has sat daily through a public inquiry into the circumstances leading up to the deaths of University of Nottingham students Barnaby, 19, and his friend Gracey O'Malley Kumar, also 19, as well as 65-year-old Ian Coates.
In the early hours of June 13, 2023, paranoid schizophrenic Valdo Calocane fatally stabbed the three innocent victims on Ilkeston Road in Radford.
Calocane, who was 31 at the time, then tried to break into a hostel before flagging down Coates, stabbing him to death and stealing his van.
The dual Guinea-Bissau and Portuguese national then drove the stolen van into three people waiting at a bus stop in the city centre, injuring them all and leaving one in critical condition.
