Valdo Calocane will not face a murder trial after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of three people including two teenage university students in Nottingham .
A court heard today that prosecutors have accepted 32-year-old Calocane's pleas of not guilty to murder and guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to “serious” mental illness.
University students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, all died during an incident in Nottingham in the early hours of June 13 last year.
