The mother of Nottingham attack victim Barnaby Webber admitted her family is “hanging on by a fingernail” as she discussed her mental health during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

“We are hanging on and we are getting support, we’ve got a great group of people around us. But the fall out from this tragedy is enormous,” Emma Webber said on Tuesday 13 August.

Her 19-year-old son, Barnaby, was stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane in June 2023.

Grace O’Malley-Kumar, 19, and 65-year-old Ian Coates were also murdered by Calocane during the horrific attack.
