Officers face misconduct probe over contact with Valdo Calocane

An internal investigation has been launched by the Leicestershire Police after three officers have been implicated for potential misconduct over their contact with triple killer Valdo Calocane. The triple murder occurred on June 13, 2023, where Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and 65-year-old Ian Coates were victims.

The incident was referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) by the force after it emerged that the officers were investigating Calocane for reportedly assaulting two colleagues on May 5 at a warehouse in Kegworth.
