Nottingham - A Student Community in Shock

The city of Nottingham has been shaken by a series of attacks which left two 19-year-old students – Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar – and another man dead.

The Bishop of Nottingham has said the "horrific" attacks have "left a mark on what is normally a vibrant city". 19-year-olds Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar – and a school caretaker in his 50s – were fatally stabbed. Three people were hit by a van which police believe was stolen from the older victim, Ian Coates.

A suspect was Tasered by police before being arrested on suspicion of murder.

For fellow students in the city, this has been particularly hard to process. For 5 Minutes On, 91Èȱ¬ Radio Nottingham reporter - and former University of Nottingham student, Ryan Keane, spoke to a number of people on campus.
