Nottingham attacks: Triple killer's sentence not unduly lenient - judges
The sentence of a man who stabbed three people to death in Nottingham was not unduly lenient, judges have ruled.
Valdo Calocane killed Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, and 65-year-old Ian Coates on 13 June 2023.
He was given an indefinite hospital order after prosecutors accepted a plea of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Mr Webber's mother, Emma Webber, said the Court of Appeal ruling came as "no surprise" to the victims' families. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68975895

Sounds as though old vehicles that haven't been used (i.e. taxed, etc) for seven years will be confiscated and scrapped under mew proposals by the government.
