— Calocane fatally stabbed two teenagers. then just over an hour later fatally stabbed a man, stole his van, and deliberately drove into three people on two separate occasions causing serious injuries. The prosecution accepted his diminished responsiblity pleas in relation to the murder charges, and the Attorney General argued that a restricted hospital order was unduly lenient.
