I have a huge problem with this.
(feel free to share)……
Calocane senior’s vague and watered down written evidence is denying us of answers we have the right to hear.
He was given permission not to appear despite numerous appeals from the survivors and bereaved legal teams. It is a decision that none of us were happy with. AT ALL.
Statements only are one way information. I didn’t care if he had a private and remote link. If language is still a barrier for him then use a translater (the young student from Italy who broke her back escaping from Calocane managed to do it).
The Inquiry knows this. They know how we feel.
Sadly we are powerless and bound by the decision.
No doubt this post will cause consternation.
But it’s my point of view and opinion.
And I will always be fully transparent.
He has information we deserve to hear.
Proper answers with detail and evidence that go beyond short sentence answers.
We know that there were serious fractures in this family:
- the ‘scratch injury’ over a washing up argument resulted in the Police attending an assault.
- why did they not know where he lived for much of his 20s?
- it appears he refused to give them his addresses. It appears they thought he was in Newcastle yet he was in Birmingham ?
- arrived in Wales when he was 16 and by 19 he had left home because ‘he didn’t like his father’s rules.
- disagreement over - very ‘devout’ Christian beliefs (read the text messages BOTH ways) between the two brothers.
- family history of mental health issues.
- detail on action taken by the family (including the father) on the two episodes in 2021 when Calocane drove five hours in a psychotic state to sit outside the family home.
- how could the family, including a registered Nurse, not know of his illness when they were both present with Doctors and asking questions about depot meds (which are used for medical conditions such as paranoid schizophrenia which was also actually diagnosed as early as Sept 2020. It’s in the notes!).
Did they not talk to each other as parents?
- he doesn’t appear to have the concerns about suicide that his son Elias evidenced so strongly in his evidence?
- dates when he saw and spoke to his eldest son between 2020-2023 (less than a handful of times we believe).
- question about that final call made to him late night on the 12th June. What action did he take, what did he discuss with his wife.
- clarification of regularity of calls or emails with VC in 2023. We were told family had lost contact with him?
- clarification of when he knew
what his son had done (seems a rather casual reference to such catastrophic news).
Despite how this may appear. It is not vindictive or bullying. What is apparent from the new evidence that has come forward during the inquiry is that there is much more ‘history’ than has been previously revealed about Calocane and his family.
This is important and it is relevant.
His child destroyed my family. He stole my son from us.
Surely to have the chance to have answers and the truth is the very least I/we are entitled to?
