The Prime Minister’s official spokesman on Thursday said “any lessons must be learned” by the CPS, police and NHS and told them they must review their handling of Calocane and the killings, describing it as a “truly harrowing” case and offering his “heartfelt condolences.”
A spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s office confirmed a complaint had been received which would now be considered by Ms Prentis and her legal team. More than 100 offenders had their sentences increased in 2022, the latest data shows.
After the sentencing, the families of the victims and the survivors of the attack criticised the CPS, the NHS and Nottinghamshire Police.
Mrs Webber accused the CPS of not consulting with families over the charges, saying: “We as a devastated family have been let down by multiple agency failings and ineffectiveness. The CPS did not consult us as has been reported – instead we have been rushed, hastened and railroaded.”
She said the first meeting with them was in November: “We were presented with a fait accompli that the decision had been made to accept manslaughter charges. At no point during the previous five and a half months were we given any indication that this could conclude in anything other than murder.
“We do not dispute the murderer is mentally unwell and has been for a number of years. However the pre-mediated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows and brutality of the attacks are that of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. He knew entirely that it was wrong but he did it anyway.”
