Barnaby’s parents tracked his phone to police stationpublished at 10:20 GMT
On the morning of the attacks, David Webber said he got up, turned on the TV, and saw the “media light up” about an incident in Nottingham.
He tried to call Barnaby but did not get an answer.
David then checked the Find My Phone app to see where Barnaby was.
“I decided to have a look on my phone to see
if I could see where he was and I could see he was in Ilkeston Road, but he was
quite close to his accommodation or the phone was quite close to his accommodation, so I didn’t really think too far beyond that,” David said.
However, he added it was unusual not to be able to make contact with Barnaby.
Emma attempted to call a hospital, David said, while he attempted to call the police.
“I remember a distinct change of voice in the lady I was speaking to,” he added.
David said he was told it was a “fast-changing scene” and nobody could speak to him at that time.
At that point, the media was telling the public a man and woman had been found dead.
“And then I
just saw the phone start to move and that’s when I really panicked,” David said.
“I phoned it [Barnaby’s phone] a couple of times thinking of maybe he’s just there, and we tracked the phone
and we watched it go all the way to Radford Road Police Station.”
