Nottingham Triple Killer Held in Secure Psychiatric Hospital Under Strict Regime
Valdo Calocane, who murdered three people in Nottingham in 2023, is being held at Ashworth High Secure Hospital under a strict regimen due to the danger he poses. The paranoid schizophrenic is under constant supervision in a secure room with minimal contact with others.
Valdo Calocane, 34, is housed at Ashworth High Secure Hospital in Maghull, near Liverpool, following his conviction for the June 13, 2023, murders of Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates. Calocane, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, was also found guilty of attempting to kill three others during the Nottingham spree. According to an unnamed source quoted by the Daily Mail, Calocane is being held in a secure room with a hatch on the door, under constant supervision. The facility houses approximately 200 men and has a history of holding dangerous criminals. Because Calocane is considered extremely unpredictable, he is under a strict regimen known as long-term segregation (LTS), limiting his contact with other patients. Staff were informed that they are dealing with a patient who is very ill and potentially extremely dangerous.
