This week a court hearing is being held in Calocane courthouse in Nottingham, regarding a murder case from last summer.
A 32-year-old man is accused of murdering two 19-year-olds.
It was just after four in the morning on 13 June 2023 when 19-year-old Grace O’Malley-Kumar and her friend Barnaby Webber (19) were on their way home from a city trip. They had celebrated that the last exam for the semester was over.
Attack with a knife
They were on their way to their student accommodation when a strange man suddenly appeared.

The person held a knife in his hand and attacked Barnaby Webber.
The man stabbed 19-year-old Barnaby repeatedly. Grace – who was studying medicine – then tried to intervene, according to Tuesday’s court hearing in Nottingham.

She tried to protect Barnaby by punching and pushing the strange man to get him away. Then the man attacked Grace.
– He was brutal
– He was uncompromising and brutal in his assault, said prosecutor Karim Khalil in the courtroom on Tuesday, reports The Independent.
Grace’s injuries were so extensive that she fell over. Both she and Barnaby died from their injuries.
The accused man is said to have then left the scene.
– The first sign was the bruises
Both Grace O’Malley-Kumar’s father and brother testified in court on Tuesday, speaking directly to the man charged with murder.
Spoke directly to the accused
– She intervened bravely. She would not abandon a friend in need. It was not in her nature. She fought heroically and bravely against you, her father, Sanjoy Kumar, said, according to the BBC.
– You showed yourself to be a cold, cowardly and calculating killer. So you just left, leaving my child lying on the street, he continued.

The young woman’s younger brother, James, told the court that he has been completely lost without his older sister Grace, who he also called his best friend.
– It is a great honor to be able to say that she is my older sister, it is a privilege. Now it’s my job to do my best to make her proud, he said, according to the BBC.
New victim the same day
After stabbing the two young students, the defendant allegedly attacked an elderly man, 65-year-old Ian Robert Coates, who was driving on Magdala Road in the town.

The killer attacked him, stabbed him in the stomach and chest, stole his car, and left Ian Robert Coates at the scene.
Grace O’Malley-Kumar, Barnaby Webber and Ian Robert Coates died from their injuries last summer.
Police: A big question
During the trial, it emerged that the defendant had been diagnosed with a serious mental disorder.
He has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, as a result of the influence of the diagnosis. He is also charged with murder and premeditated murder, but pleads not guilty.
It is not known when a judgment will be given in the case.
