Nottingham attack – latest: Father of killed student Grace Kumar makes emotional plea at vigil

The father of a student killed in Nottingham made an emotional plea at a vigil held by the university.

The families of medical student Grace O’Malley-Kumar and history student Barnaby Webber stood together as they addressed the thousands who gathered to pay their respects.

Barnaby’s father David told those gathered that “his heart will be with you guys forever” while Grace’s father Sanjoy told the students to look after each other.

Mr Kumar said: “The love that we have out here, I just wish we had it everywhere. So, look after each other is the big thing.

“Look after your friends and look after people around you. It is so important.”

The third victim of the attacks was revealed yesterday as school caretaker Ian Coates, a father to three as well as a grandfather.

Mr Coates’ sons left tributes at the scene of his death on Wednesday, telling reporters he was “a die-hard Forest fan” and a keen fisherman who took young people from deprived backgrounds fishing to try to divert them from crime.
