Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane is one of nearly 80 violent criminals at a high-security hospital who can claim state benefits, it was revealed last night.
Valdo Calocane killed Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar with a knife. He also stabbed to death Ian Coates during the Nottingham rampage
In response to a Freedom of Information request from The Daily Telegraph, the hospital admitted it is ‘standard practice’ for such offenders to get benefits since they are treated as patients with mental disorders as opposed to being handed prison sentences. While jailed offenders are banned from claiming benefits, those in secure hospitals can amass thousands of pounds through £390-a-month Universal Credit payments.
