A Good Morning Britain star shared a heartbreaking news update just minutes into the live show.
Tuesday’s (February 24) edition of the hit ITV programme was hosted by Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, with the pair delivering the biggest headlines from across the UK and around the world.
They were joined in the studio by Alex Beresford, who presented regular weather forecasts, while Ranvir Singh handled the rest of the day’s news.
Later in the show, Ranvir shared updates from the ongoing inquiry into the 2023 Nottingham attacks, which left three people dead.
“[It’s been revealed] that the killer was released by mental health workers considering the overrepresentation of black men in detention. Valdo Calocane went on to take the lives of students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and 65-year-old Ian Coates,” Ranvir shared.

“Today, their families will attend the hearing as it continues in central London… Already there have been some very upsetting details as one might expect, but some shocking ones too.”
Correspondent Ashna Hurynag spoke live from central London, where she explained: “In 2023, we know that the lives of those three people were taken in the most brutal attacks in Nottingham. But yesterday, in the first day of the inquiry, we heard about an incident that unfolded three years before that incident took place.
“In May 2020, the killer, Valdo Calocane, was living himself as a University of Nottingham student when he was experiencing a period of psychosis. He began to kick down the door of a woman, who was living alone in her flat.
“She was so scared that she jumped out of her first floor window, damaging her spine in the process.”

The reporter went on: “But when mental health doctors and psychiatrists came to look at Calocane and where he should go from there, even though they were considering sectioning him, they decided not to do that based on research they had gathered, and research looking at the fact that there had been an overrepresentation of black men in custody.”
This led them not to take that action, three years before the horrific attacks took place in Nottingham. The families of the victims have said that they are going to be attending the inquiry every single day, up until June.
Speaking yesterday, Ian Coates’ son, James, told reporters: “My last little bit of hope going into this inquiry is that we’re going to get truth, proper real answers, accountability and most importantly, some changes. There has to be systematic changes.”
Ashna concluded: “The families are convinced that it was a catalogue of failings, as they call it, by authorities that led to their loved one’s deaths. The inquiry will unpick the actions of numerous authorities, including the police.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 6am
