Schizophrenic Valdo Calocane was discharged from mental health services just months before he killed three people in Nottingham, an inquiry has heard.
Details of the Case
He had been under the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's supervision for two years, with a consultant psychiatrist previously warning he would kill someone. The trust's Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) service discharged Calocane in September 2022 after he failed to attend appointments and could not be found, the inquiry heard.
He also lied about being abroad in his last phone engagement, the inquiry heard, with Emma Robinson, a team leader at the trust, admitting that staff “lost” him.
Lack of Communication
The trust did not inform Nottinghamshire Police of Calocane's discharge, and his GP reportedly received very little information about his mental health history.
In full: Triple killer was discharged from mental health services ‘because NHS trust could not find him’.
