Nottingham Attacks News

Property Property Latest News,Property Property Headlines

Those who left their homes at the start of that awful day found a paralysed city, with trams and buses halted and large parts of the city centre enclosed by police tape

Questions and fear of the unknown - that's all the people of Nottingham had as they woke up on June 13 last year. .

Neighbours told me how they were shaken and disturbed by the large-scale police presence and the rumours they had heard from elsewhere in the city - and then the news came in. "A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three people were killed in the city. "I didn't think this would happen in Nottingham," one pensioner told me next to the Ilkeston Road cordon, his face displaying his disbelief. As more and more journalists started to pour into the city to try and figure out what had happened, the picture developed of a crime that no one here could believe.

Grandfather Ian Coates, 65, who had been stabbed by Calocane at around 5.14am, was a huge Nottingham Forest fan and was on the verge of retiring from his job as a school caretaker when he was brutally killed. He had spent hours crafting Christmas displays for children at his school, Huntingdon Academy, I was later told by his colleagues, with generations of locals knowing him for his mischievous nature and love of fishing.
