BREAKING: A man has been remanded in custody after being charged with murdering three people following a series of attacks in Nottingham
A former University of Nottingham student has been remanded in custody after being charged with murdering three people following a series of attacks in the city.Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby WebberThe suspect, 31, who gave his name in court as Adam Mendes, appeared in the dock at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Saturday wearing a grey T-shirt and grey jogging bottoms.He is next due to appear at Nottingham Crown court next Tuesday.
Calocane, of no fixed address, has also been charged with attempted murder after three people were injured, one critically, when they were hit by a van.Nottinghamshire Police Chief Constable Kate Meynell said:"This has been an incredibly sad time for our city and county, and we stand united with our communities as we come to terms with the effects of what has happened.
"We are keenly aware of the deep emotion being felt surrounding these tragic events and the high level of interest, not only in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire but also across the whole country."However, posting prejudicial information online about an active case could amount to contempt of court and, in the most serious cases, have the potential to cause the collapse of a trial.
The family of Mr Webber, a history student and keen cricketer, have described their"complete devastation" at the"senseless murder of our son", saying he was a"beautiful, brilliant, bright young man, with everything in life to look forward to".
