Police watchdog reopens investigation into Nottingham killer’s previous assaults

IOPC to look again at Valdo Calocane's history after representations from victims' families

The police watchdog has reopened its investigation into previous assaults by the Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane, after representations from the families of the murdered victims.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) previously prepared a report that concluded Leicestershire police officers had failed to properly investigate an assault on warehouse workers by Calocane which could have stopped his murder spree a month later. Three officers were due to face a misconduct meeting but the force postponed this.
