The man who killed three people in a spate of attacks in Nottingham last year should have his sentence changed to one of life imprisonment, the Court of Appeal has heard.

Valdo Calocane was given an indefinite hospital order after admitting the manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility of Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, and the attempted murder of three others last June.
