NHS England released the report amidst pressure from victims' families, revealing that Calocane had a history of violence, yet was treated in a least restrictive manner without adequate measures to enforce medication compliance. Despite multiple risk assessments highlighting his aggressive history, the oversight in ensuring medication adherence ultimately contributed to tragic outcomes, including the deaths of three individuals in June 2023.
