The family of one of three people killed by Valdo Calocane have welcomed a review into his sentence.
Calocane stabbed to death students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar and caretaker Ian Coates last June.
The 32-year-old admitted manslaughter and was given an indefinite hospital order after he was found to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time.
The Attorney General, Victoria Prentis KC MP, said the sentence of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility and attempted murder was unduly lenient and will be referred to the Court of Appeal.
Emma Webber, Barnaby’s mother, told BBC Breakfast: “It doesn’t change the pleas, only the sentence. We will always maintain, we don’t agree that it was manslaughter… we will always say it was murder.”
