A PUBLIC inquiry into the Nottingham attack will take place “in a matter of weeks”, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

He stabbed the two students to death at around 4am before also knifing school caretaker Ian.

He also tried to kill three others by using a van to run them over.

Today the families of the victims met with the Prime Minister at No 10.

During an emotional meeting, the families were told a “number of different agencies” would be scrutinised by the public probe.

It comes after Calocane was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order in January last year.

He early admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility and attempted murder.

The Prime Minister said focusing on just one aspect of the case would not be right as he did not “think that will do justice”.

A retired judge is due to be appointed in due course, with the PM adding: “As soon as that happens, the process will start.”
