Ministers are being urged to review how homicide is categorised, after a review concluded that the Crown Prosecution Service was correct to accept the Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane’s manslaughter pleas.
A review of how the CPS handled the case against Calocane found that it complied with the law, but it has recommended that the government look at categorising homicide in three tiers, as opposed to the current two-tier system of murder and manslaughter.
