That's all our live coverage on this story today - thank you for following along. 

Before we go, here's a recap of the main points from Valdo Calocane's sentencing for killing Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, and the attempted murder of three others. 

The 32-year-old has been handed a hospital order, meaning he will be detained in a high-security hospital indefinitely.

Judge Mr Justice Turner said he was "satisfied" Calocane was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and the order was necessary to "protect the public from serious harm". 

He will be held in Ashworth Hospital in Maghull, near Liverpool. 

Families of the victims expressed their anger at the judge's decision after the sentencing. 

Emma Webber, the mother of Barnaby Webber, said "justice has not been served" and her family had been "let down" by multiple agency failings. 

In a scolding criticism of Nottinghamshire Police, she said assistant chief constable Rob Griffin had "blood on his hands".

Ian Coates's son, James Coates, said Calocane had "made a mockery of the system" and "got away with murder".

Our news correspondent Becky Cotterill is outside Nottingham Crown Court after the sentencing of Valdo Calocane. 

She says the victims' families are "clearly very angry" at various organisations, including the police and the CPS, for their handling of the case. 

The CPS said it had consulted the families about the decision to accept Calocane's manslaughter plea, rather than pushing for a murder trial. 

But the families have argued that did not happen. 

"In the case of Ian Coates's son, James Coates, he clearly does not accept that decision," Cotterill says. 

Reacting to the sentencing result, Mr Coates said Calocane had "got away with murder". 

As for the police, Cotterill says the most "damning" comment was made by Barnaby Webber's mother, Emma Webber, who said Nottinghamshire Police assistant chief constable Rob Griffin has "blood on his hands". 

"That is in reference to the fact that there was an arrest warrant active at the time Calocane committed these killings," she explains. 

"Many people will be looking on, thinking what could have happened if Calocane had been caught and was not on the streets of Nottingham." 

Family members of Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates spoke on the steps outside Nottingham Crown Court after their killer was sentenced to a hospital order.

Emma Webber, Barnaby's mother, said the sentence did not provide justice, while Mr Coates's son said Calocane has "got away with murder".

Here's a recap of all their comments in full:

Detective Superintendent Leigh Sanders, who led the investigation, said 13 June last year was "one of the darkest days for our city".

In a statement after Calocane's sentencing, he said the "savage" attacks were "terrifying not only for the victims but also for those who witnessed them".

"It was also a very unnerving day for people living or working in Nottingham, who woke to find large parts of the city cordoned off while we investigated the deeply disturbing events that had unfolded," he said.

He thanked the public for their patience and support on "one of the darkest days for our city".

Nottinghamshire Police assistant chief constable Rob Griffin has been heavily criticised by families for his handling of the case. 

Outside court a few moments ago, Barnaby Webber's mother, Emma Webber, said he had "blood on his hands". 

In a statement released after Calocane's sentencing, he said there was not anything "obvious" to suggest the killer would launch the Nottingham attacks. 

He said the 32-year-old had "fleeting encounters" with the police, and they were primarily when officers were assisting mental health staff. 

He did not have any previous convictions or cautions or reprimands.

"He did assault an emergency worker and he has assaulted work colleagues and I would say they are relatively low level assaults," he said. 

"So, actually, when you examine his behaviour... it's very obvious that he had mental health challenges. 

"I don't think there was anything that was obvious to be seen that would indicate that he might go on to do what he did on 13 June." 

The chief crown prosecutor for the East Midlands has explained how Valdo Calocane's mental condition became part of his defence.

Janine McKinney says the defendant was assessed by three expert psychiatrists, all of whom said his actions were influenced by paranoid schizophrenia.

The condition had a "significant impact" on his actions and "impaired his ability to exercise self-control", she says.

It gave him a legal right to put forward a partial defence to murder and offer manslaughter pleas, Ms McKinney says.

"Our role, the role of the CPS, is to review all the evidence in a case which is what we did here, to proceed with any case to trial," she says.

On reviewing the evidence from expert psychiatrists, the CPS concluded "there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction for murder, but there was for manslaughter and attempted murder", Ms McKinney adds.

"That is why we accepted the pleas."

Dr Sanjoy Kumar, the father of Grace O'Malley-Kumar, is next to speak.

He says the family will "never come to terms" with her loss and how she died.

"She was a gift to us, she was a gift to the country," he says.

Dr Kumar says Grace's family have never questioned Calocane's diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia.

But he points to what he says were a "lack of toxicology [reports]" and "contemporaneous mental health assessments" during the case.

He adds there were "missed opportunities" to "divert [Calocane's] lethal calls" that will "forever play on our minds".

"We will look for answers regarding missed opportunities to intervene and prevent this horrendous crime," he says.

Asked what will happen now, Dr Kumar says the victims' families will "regroup" and have "been through absolute hell" for the past few days.

Ian Coates's son, James Coates, says the letter of law used to be considered the "most important rule to live by" but is now just a "cautionary tale". 

"If this man was not stopped when he was, this could have been one of the most catastrophic attacks this country has ever seen," he says. 

He says Calocane has "made a mockery of the system" and has "got away with murder". 

"This man is a killer - murder was the only thing he cared about and he fulfilled this in horrific fashion," he says. 

He places blame on the police, Crown Prosecution Service and the health service for his father's death, saying they failed. 

"All we can hope is that in due course some sort of justice will be served," he says. 

Emma Webber says the assistant chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police has "blood on his hands".

In a message directed at Rob Griffin, the mother of Barnaby Webber says: "If you had just done your job properly, there's a very good chance my beautiful boy would be alive today."

She says there is "much more to say" and "serious questions" remain.

"But for today, our darling son, his dear friend Grace and a wonderfully kind grandfather, Ian, have been stolen from us for ever and let down by the very system that should have been protecting them," she says.

ACC Griffin led the overall policing response to the attacks in June 2023.

He admitted in a statement released yesterday that more could have been done to arrest Calocane at the time he allegedly assaulted an officer in September 2021.

The families of Valdo Calocane's victims are giving a statement outside the court.

The mother of 19-year-old Barnaby Webber is the first to speak, saying "justice has not been served". 

Emma Webber says her family is "devastated" and has been "let down" by multiple agency failings. 

"We trusted in our system - foolishly, as it turns out," she says, adding she has been "rushed and railroaded". 

She describes Calocane as a "monster".
