Nottingham attacks: Families of victims speak at vigil - 'hold no hate'

The mother of a 19-year-old stabbed to death in the Nottingham attacks has paid tribute to her "beautiful boy" at a vigil for the victims.

Emma Webber said the killer was a "monstrous individual", but urged the crowd: "However this evil person is just that.

"He is just a person. Please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion."

Holding a photo of Barnaby and with his younger brother next to her, she added: "My beautiful boy - you have my, your dad and your brother's heart forever."

The sons of school caretaker Ian Coates wore football shirts with "RIP dad" on the back as they spoke publicly for the first time

"We are still dealing with what has happened," one of them said.

"My dad was an avid fisherman who loved his family and he also loved Nottingham Forest."

They also promised to support the other grieving families: "Anything they need from us, we are here for them," said one of the brothers.

Grace O'Malley-Kumar's parents and brother also gave emotional speeches, with her mother saying Grace was a "treasure" and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.

"She wanted very few things in life, she wanted to be a doctor, she wanted to play hockey with her pals, she wanted to have fun," she said.

"All they were doing was walking home. They were just walking home after a night out," she added.

"This person must face justice. It is truly unfair..."

Grace's younger brother described her as like a "best friend" and urged the crowd to "cherish all the moments with your loved ones because you never know when it will end".

There was a minute's silence in the city's Old Market Square and - at the request of Barnaby's mum - also a moment of applause.

Police earlier revealed the suspect is a former university student in the city, as they were given another 36 hours to question him.

Detective have said they remain open minded about the motive.

The 31-year-old man was tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder after Tuesday morning's killings.

Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, both 19, were found stabbed to death in Ilkeston Road at around 4am.

Ian Coates, 65, was then also dead in Magdala Road after his van was allegedly stolen by the suspect and used to run people over in Nottingham city centre.

One person was left in a critical condition after that attack.

Video from the same morning also shows a man believed to be the suspect trying to climb into a window of a homeless shelter before being pushed out.
