DJ360 6,730 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 P.S. Disturbing images from outside the Theatre Royal on our news. What's happening? P.P.S... For some reason I can no longer get the 'Actvity' option for NS on my phone. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Has someone finally run out of patience with Nottingham City Council? According to Times Radio, National Liaison Officers have been spotted which is, apparently, unusual to say the least. Looks like something far more sinister than a stabbing.

Rob.L 1,090 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 NILO has nothing to do with councils. It’s a relatively new Home Office organisation that liaises between police, fire, and ambulance. There’s lots of speculation, on Twitter in particular, about who the attacker is, specifically his nationality or religion. But until we get the official announcement, we simply don’t know.

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 ITV's programmes interrupted with news flash at 10am on a number of murders at Ilkeston Rd , incidents also at Milton St and Magdala Rd. Sounds like a terrorist related incident. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish they would! All I’ve established from our local (Mapperley Park) Facebook page is that there’s a police incident tent by Magdala Tennis Club, which is very close to Woodborough Road.

MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Hey all, official police statement linked below.

The Pianoman 1,535 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I have just been told that a van has run into a number of people at one of these places, I know not which. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Shocked to say the least. The attack has been on tv here. Hope no one lives in those areas where this happened. I understand they have arrested someone but there are quite a few areas that incidences have occurred . Seems to me a few men are involved. Stay safe everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,158 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Loads of stuff on You Tube. Been watching updates on there. Looks like it could be terrorist related. Makes one wonder who these inflatable boats are bringing in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Engineer 614 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I went on bus to town at 10:00am today. Saw a cordon across Market Street. No trams running but lots of buses around. All seemed fairly normal; lots of folk taking in the sun in the Square, shoppers milling around. I think the media coverage is a bit excessive; anyone would think the City is in lockdown and we are all in fear for our safety. I for one am not at all surprised or shocked. Such events are thankfully extremely rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

letsavagoo 963 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 The suspect in custody is a West African migrant with a history of violence. Whether this is a dinghy migrant or otherwise isn’t clear but either way lots of unchecked individuals from violent war torn countries is a powder keg waiting to explode. Beekay might be close to the mark. Time will tell. 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,158 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Try watching CBN news and Talk TV. Just been watching a YT clip on Talk TV, it showed 10.20 and the Talk was about how quick the incidents were linked and the amount of special branch, intelligence, CNIL forces have been drawn in. Which is why Counter-terrorist team has been deployed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 We don’t know yet, and possibly never will, the reason why this individual went on a killing spree but nobody NORMAL would even contemplate going around killing innocent people. It’s been said he’s an immigrant with mental health issues, a neighbour of ours has a student house in the area where the two students were knifed to death, one of his tenants said the arrested man was black with dreadlocks (not that that makes him a wicked murderer of course ….. Bob Marley springs to mind) Not much has been said about the poor man who was no doubt off to do a day’s work this morning, had his van taken and unfortunately ended up being killed not far from our house. Let’s think about those deceased and injured individuals and what their families are going through today and forever more. Just so sad. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamon 17 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 How sad that this African immigrant who has been given a safe and secure home in Nottingham, should go and end the lives of three perfectly innocent people. Was he known to mental health services because he seems deeply troubled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,602 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 The BBC reported yesterday that he had a history of violence but today they have changed the mind and said a history of mental health issues, there are many people out there with mental health issues who need support and compassion but as far as I know they don't go around murdering people, if this alleged murderer is found guilty of these offences he will no doubt be put in a secure "hospital" and given the best treatment possible, treatment the majority of mental health sufferers could only dream of, this alleged murderer has no sympathy from me whatsoever 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
