Doctor warned that Valdo Calocane's mental illness was so severe he could kill someone.

Warning was one of a series of missed opportunities over three years that could have prevented killings.

Family say he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020 and was sectioned four times in less than two years .

In June 2023 , he went on a rampage through the streets of Nottingham killing three people.

He was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of three counts of murder.

The night before the attacks Calocane called his brother to discuss his delusional beliefs.

He told his brother he was convinced he was going to hurt himself.

But at the time of the attacks, he had already stabbed and killed two university students.

He was sectioned for a fourth time after he assaulted his housemate in their student flat.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating complaints against Nottinghamshire Police.
