Valdo Calocane: CPS to be investigated over handling of Nottingham killer case

Attorney general orders review into decision by prosectors to accept manslaughter pleas after criticism from victims' families

Prosecutors are to be investigated for their handling of the Valdo Calocane case, including their decision to accept his manslaughter pleas, the attorney general has announced.

Victoria Prentis said the review would look at the Crown Prosecution Service's decision to accept Calocane's guilty pleas to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility, and whether the CPS met its duties to consult the families before accepting the pleas.
