It seems like the suspect was using his van apparently to murder random people.

Channel 4 News has a video with a witness saying how she saw the van deliberately hitting a man and a woman, also describes appearance of suspect.
I saw someone else saying there's a lot of gang feuding in the area (idk I'm not from Nottingham) and I'm wondering if this was related.
Would just be odd for someone to carry out a terror attack at 4am on a Tuesday morning.
jmo.
Just horrific either way =(

The first people attacked were also a man and a woman, they were stabbed to death.
Was he deliberately targeting couples??

“Being a hot night, I had the window open and I just heard some awful, blood-curdling screams.

"It’s often quite busy with people coming back from town and you get the usual boyfriend-girlfriend arguments, so I thought it was something like that.

“I looked out of the window and saw a black guy dressed all in black with a hood and rucksack grappling with some people. It was a girl, and a man or boy she was with – they looked quite young.

“She was screaming ‘Help!’ I just wish I’d shouted something out of the window to unnerve the assailant.

“I saw him stab the lad first and then the woman. It was repeated stabbing – four or five times. The lad collapsed in the middle of the road.

“The girl stumbled towards a house and didn’t move. The next minute she had disappeared down the side of a house, and that’s where they found her.

“I’d say it all happened within five or six minutes. The attacker then just walked off up Ilkeston Road towards town, as calm as anything.”

One of the young victims was my friend's best friend's son. He was my friend's godson. It's just so sudden, tragic and unfathomable.... Condolences to all the families and people affected by this. It's so hard to make any sense of these incidents.

 

[AliceInPain]

I'm confused how he was granted "settled status" in the UK.
That is usually for EU-citizens and people from a few other European countries, and was hard enough to get for those back in the pre-Brexit days.
Maybe his parents already had it or were citizens in the UK?
Really dislike when they publish vague info like this before the full picture is known, imo it's just to stir up drama and more hate.

"The man, described as having dreadlocks by eyewitnesses, had been granted settled status in the UK after moving here as a teenager, the Times reports."

School caretaker Ian Coates, in his 60s, has been named as the third victim.

"Ian was a much-loved colleague who always went the extra mile for the benefit of our children and will be greatly missed."

Mr Coates was described as a "beloved and respected member of the Huntingdon Academy staff". He died in the early morning attacks in Nottingham, which also claimed the lives of 19-year-old students Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber.

"It is believed Mr Coates was making his way to work when he was flagged down and assaulted. He was dragged out of the vehicle and left lying on the pavement in his own blood before the suspect drove off in his van."

He possibly moved here as a young teenager along with his parents. It's also possible that he had a decent job, and as he has no criminal record settled status wouldn't be a problem.

CCTV footage shows man said to be murder suspect​

Daniel Sandford
Home Affairs correspondent

The BBC has seen CCTV footage that shows a man said to be the suspect for the triple murder in Nottingham yesterday.

It shows a man in a black hoodie trying to climb into an open window at a homeless hostel.

An arm from inside pushes him away. Another man outside the hostel remonstrates with him and the suspect then walks off.

We have been told that this happened either just before or during the incident on Tuesday morning.

Nottinghamshire Police have not commented on what we have seen.

We can only show a still image of the footage - it's below.

Wow! How terrifying. People understandably keeping their window open because of the heat, and the window looks high enough that you wouldn't imagine someone trying to get in from the outside!

When I lived in my ground floor flat I had someone (no idea who) knock at my bedroom window a few times in the middle of the night. I resolved to never live on the ground floor again, god willing I can always use stairs..

Wow thank goodness he didn't get in there.
This whole situation is just tragic.
