'We just want the truth!' Parents of Barnaby Webber demand missing answers from Valdo Calocane's father following inquiry

The parents of Barnaby Webber, one of the three victims of the Nottingham attack, have told GB News that they just want the truth following an inquiry into the triple murder.Speaking exclusively to GB News, Emma and David Webber admitted there is one part of the puzzle that is missing in enabling the families to receive all the answers they need about the attack.The families of Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates called for accountability for all of the system failings which led to Valdo Calocane carrying out his horror attack.Following their press conference, Mr and Mrs Webber spoke to Martin Daubney to deliver their verdict on the inquiry's findings. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Highlighting the absence of Valdo Calocane's father from the inquiry, Martin questioned how on earth he was given special measures which granted him permission to not attend or give oral evidence.Mrs Webber agreed, telling GB News: Exactly, how on earth can that be allowed to happen? We had the the mother and the brother attend every single day from the 23rd of February. Without fail, they attended. And I don't want to sound too vindictive at all, but the mother saw him twice in two years, but she's attended the inquiry every single day since February. That's just an observation on my part.Mrs Webber stressed how the inquiry relied on the information that Calocane had a happy and stress-free childhood.She said: Much reliance has been put upon him having a wonderful Christian family who was super close, but throughout the evidence that was given it became very apparent that there were cracks and there were fractures.There were questions, particularly from the parents of Calocane, that we as parents of Barney need to understand of childhood trauma, of background, of lifestyle.Mrs Webber took issue with Calocane's father making an application not to attend, instead penning three written statements which were submitted to the inquiry.She argued: You can give answers in a statement, a written sentence, but that doesn't explore any opportunity to say 'why?' or expand. And for me, that is the biggest gap, and the one part of the puzzle that's really missing.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSEmma Webber tells GB News that Valdo Calocane's father 'should have given evidence' to inquiryWATCH: Families of Nottingham attack victims blast 'collapse of responsibility' after public inquiryNHS doctors 'pressured not to section psychotic black patients due to fears of appearing racist'Because he did have contact his son. His son phoned him the night before he murdered our son, so I need to know what happened. Why did you do that? And that's why I can't lie at rest until I know the answers.Echoing Mrs Webber's remarks, Mr Webber told Martin that they want to understand the truth from the family of Calocane and a chance to expand on the statements written by his father.Mr Webber added: It's a difficult one because we don't know the facts. I think he should have been there, and there could be very good reasons why he's not.But through this entire process, we were told there was no mental health issues in the family, and then all of a sudden they start to come creeping through, even to the point where the mother sat on the sand and basically said she had severe anxiety. That's a mental health issue.Mr Webber made clear: It's not about being vindictive, we just want to understand the truth, and some of the stuff that's being said doesn't add up. When you're reading statements from the father and you're thinking, 'well, hold on a second, we need to know more about that'. Let's ask a few more questions about this, because he's obviously had some severe mental health issues. It's not about shaming you, we just need to understand because it can help people going forward. In fact, it could have helped your son.Mrs Webber agreed, concluding: To us as parents, to not hear from somebody who's the parent of the individual that murdered my son, who had direct calls from him the night before it happened, who was present when he arrived at the house a couple of times, driving from Nottingham in a clearly unwell state and with mental health in his family as well, I believe that there are questions.It's not to vilify, it's actually just to seek the truth. So for me, that will always be a gap, whether it's ever addressed or not. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
