The graduate accused of murdering three people during a knife rampage in Nottingham 'used to sit out the back of his house with his top off, smoking and drinking', according to a neighbour - as it emerged he was looking for a job.
Valdo Calocane, who is understood to be from Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, graduated from the University of Nottingham with a degree in mechanical engineering last summer.
On a jobs website, the 31-year-old described himself as having a 'strong interest in dynamics analysis, modelling and big data analytics' as well as computer programming. The profile said he was seeking full-time employment.
While he was studying, he lived a stone's throw from the stretch of Ilkeston Road where the 19-year-old victims died in the early hours of Tuesday.
Neighbour Kamran Kahn, 41, said Calocane used to spend time with an ex partner at a house on Ilkeston Road that was raided by armed officers earlier this week.
I think it's sad. My oldest had a really clever mind and lots of creativity, he played the guitar at The Roundhouse, had a good job and was going places then boom, he can't even mop the floor anymore.
Mechanical engineering is not for the average person.
This sounds like a bright mind going poof due to just mental issues, or drugs, we'll find out soon I hope.
