Yeah, thanks for joining us for the second anniversary today of that tragic triple killing
0:04
the murder by Vowdo Calacane in Nottingham, along with the families, the survivors of that tragedy today
0:11
Dr Sanj Kumar, father of Grace. This is Jamie Coates, the son of Ian Coates
0:19
who actually was killed on this precise spot two years ago. Emma Webber, mother of Barnaby
0:25
David, father of Barnaby and Charlie on the end there, brother of Barnaby
0:33
let's start with you if I could Jamie we're here at a precise spot
0:36
where your father fell two years ago what's your memories of that
0:41
before moving forward he's going to come out of the spot in particular
0:46
I have to come past here every single week so it's nothing that I can really forget about
0:53
for me I try and put a positive on it I don't count it as the place he was murdered
1:00
I count it as the place where he had his last rest
1:03
every time I drive past or walk by or even on the adjacent street
1:09
I always look up just expecting to see him or to see some flowers
1:13
or just see anything other than just it being empty I'm really honoured to have everybody
1:20
that's made this journey here today to be here. Yeah, I want to remember it as a positive thing
1:28
and not a negative. I think everyone here, all the families together, doing this in remembrance is a good thing
1:36
And Emma you gave a speech at the site where your boy felt it It was incredible I don know how he did it but you did you faced up to that moment talk us through your your recollections of what you want
1:50
to happen next well as I said you know he he and Grace had to endure most awful horror um unforgivable
1:58
and unfathomable minutes literally away from from safety on on such a busy road um and it's well
2:06
documented the failures. But we've come together, united by this awful tragedy
2:12
But, you know, these guys are family now and whatever it takes, for however long it takes
2:19
we'll get justice because he's not serving the right sentence. In fact, he's not serving a sentence at all
2:26
But more importantly, all of the failures and all of those who just didn't do their jobs properly
2:30
you know, we just want the truth and they just... The right thing needs to be done
2:34
and I know that Dr Kumar is more adept at speaking on that than me
2:39
but just look at the people that have come here and look how far that walk was
2:45
It's taken us about 50 minutes. Yeah, it's a good hour to get here
2:50
And, you know, I don't want to go into all of that, but that just goes to prove how awful that was
2:57
and how much worse it probably could have been had he not eventually been stopped
3:01
But we will... I was going to stop David Charlie. I was stood there as you knelt in silence at that spot
3:15
It was a heartbreaking moment to watch. It must have been insurmountably brief I had to take myself away at one point because it just to believe that where my son
3:31
and his beautiful friend Grace fell. It's just such a monster. And I'm just so heartbroken that we're here
3:41
Emma said we're like family now. We are, but for all the wrong reasons
3:47
Charlie, I saw you put your flower down. and you kissed your hand and you put that on the pavement
3:53
Mate, what a moment. Yeah, I mean, it's probably the worst place on earth for us
4:00
That road, it's really hard to go to. But yeah, I think for the wrong reasons, it's nice to come here
4:05
like Dad said, and lay down those flowers so we can remember everything that happened two years ago here today
4:10
And I haven't been to this road before, so it's really nice to come here as well and remember Ian as well as Grayson Barney
4:16
You've been a superb, brave lad. I'd like to come over to you now because you came to see us at GMI News
4:22
and the studio of Westminster, you brought those three reports, you've been to see Wes Streeting. Now moving forward, it's about resolution, it's about justice
4:28
it's making sure this never happens again. Martin, first of all, you know, these two years have actually
4:34
they've flown for me. To me, it still feels like yesterday. And the reason it has is because we've not had as families a moment's peace
4:41
We have fought from minute one, from minute one of the police telling us there's nothing they could have done
4:47
when this man, this monster, was wanted on a warrant. And they said that nothing could have been done for them
4:53
From that moment on, we have fought. We have fought to get information that we're entitled to
4:58
There's three reports that I brought to you in the studio. None of those three reports actually still tell us
5:02
how many health workers how many doctors were actually involved They haven even labelled them So my meeting with West Streeting on the 9th on Monday this week need to be held accountable
5:15
If you don't get accountability, you will not stop tragedies like this. And I said to
5:19
West Streeting, it is in your power to bring mental health related homicide to an end
5:25
He has the power. Why? Because if you hold people responsible, this will not happen. This
5:31
happened because this man was sectioned four times, they didn't change his
5:35
treatment, they put a man who was risky out in the community and they
5:39
did it four times over. So we need accountability. Without that we will not move forward and mental health
5:45
related homicide will not stop in our country and we need it stopped. Emma, I'm going to come to you
5:51
because the resolve I see in your face every time I see you
5:55
I mean I don't know how you do it but I don't think you're ever going to stop until you get justice on this are you? No
6:01
Tell the truth. We've got the inquiry, but that doesn't negate the fact that these individuals in the health trusts, in the police forces, some sadly in the council and anywhere else, that they shouldn't be held to account now
6:21
Because if you don't do your job properly, then you have to pay the consequences, whatever that is. And be sure that we will right this wrong, whatever it takes
6:30
OK guys, I'm going to sign off for that thank you for allowing me to walk with you today
6:33
it's been a genuine privilege, really has I grew up on the street over there, behind here
6:38
this killing happened I walk home from school on these streets it's just heartbreaking for the city
6:43
for these individuals but thanks for allowing us into your space today
6:47
thank you signing off, thanks
