NOTTINGHAM attack suspect Valdo Calocane has been remanded in custody on murder and attempted murder charges.
Calocane, 31, appeared in court today accused of killing 19-year-old students Grace Kumar and Barnaby Weller as well as school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, in knife and van attacks in Nottingham on Tuesday.
During the brief 10-minute hearing, Calocane, who is of no fixed address, was remanded into custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on June 20 at 10am.
He appeared in court charged with three counts of murder and three count of attempted murder - relating to three members of the public allegedly struck by a van.
The alleged victims of the attempted murder were named in the charge as Sharon Miller, Marcin Gawronski and Wayne Birkett.

Calocane gave his name in court as Adam Mendes, which his solicitor confirmed was a name Calocane was also known by.
He gave his date of birth as September 4, 1991, and he confirmed he had no address.
A bearded Calocane wore a grey T-shirt and bottoms, and spoke clearly when asked to confirm his details to the legal advisor.
All the charges were read out to him - but there was no response and he was not required to enter a plea at this stage.
It comes after it was revealed that a victim of the Nottingham attack horror died a hero after trying to save her pal from the knifeman.
Fearless Grace Kumar bravely put herself in between the attacker and Barnaby Webber during Tuesday's horror.
A witness, who did not wish to be named, told MailOnline: "The boy and the girl were walking on their own, there was nobody else in the picture except the attacker, who came up from behind.
"He attacked the boy first – the girl had an opportunity to run away.
"But she didn't, she tried to get the man off her friend.
"She tried to save the boy."

At a vigil for the attack victims last week, Grace's family remembered their "beautiful baby girl" and said that she was studying to become a doctor like her father.
Meanwhile, Barney's mum said: "My beautiful, beautiful boy, you have mine, your dad and your brother's heart forever."
