The death of a student killed in the Nottingham attacks was "potentially preventable", a public inquiry has heard.
Barnaby Webber - along with Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates - were killed by Valdo Calocane, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, on 13 June 2023.
On Tuesday, ahead of closing statements to the Nottingham Inquiry , external - which is examining the killings - the inquiry was told a "more rapid administration of blood products" could have meant Barnaby's death was "potentially preventable".
The inquiry also heard documents found in a bin at Calocane's address contained a list of explosives, which was not disclosed by Nottinghamshire Police until June this year.
