Last moments of innocent Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar before they were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane. They are seen walking down the road in this CCTV footage recorded before they were attacked.
The parents of Nottingham stabbing victim Grace O'Malley-Kumar have backed calls for their daughter to be awarded the George Cross after she was knifed to death while she tried to save her friend.
Grace's 'astonishingly bravery' was recognised during a court hearing in which her father Dr Sanjoy Kumar praised his daughter as a hero who shunned the opportunity to run away. Grace, 19, was knifed to death as she tried to save her friend Barnaby Webber, also 19, who had been attacked by triple-killer Valdo Calocane
'Our hope is it would help her be remembered as the wonderful person that she was, and not just for the horrendous fate she suffered.''The accolade would be an example to every other young person,' he said. Grace's grief-stricken parents Dr Sanjoy Kumar and Sinead O'Malley say the award would be a remarkable acknowledgement of her bravery
Calocane was handed a hospital order for manslaughter by diminished responsibility after Nottingham Crown Court heard he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
