The people of Nottingham will stand together with a vigil following the tragic knife and van attacks in the city. University students Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar, both 19, lost their lives after being stabbed in Ilkeston Road, at 4am as they walked home from a night out in the city centre.
A man in his 50s, as yet unnamed, was also killed in a knife attack on Magdala Road before his van was thought to have been stolen and used an hour later on Milton Street to try and run over three people. One man is in hospital in critical condition, and two others have suffered minor injuries.
The flag on Nottingham’s Council House has been lowered to half-mast and a book of condolence opened as the city mourns the tragic loss of life. People are also being invited to lay flowers on the steps of the Council House while the lights on the building will be lowered at night as a mark of respect.
