6.25am, Tuesday June 13, 2023 my alarm went off as usual. I flicked straight onto Nottinghamshire Live’s analytics to see if the early shift on our newsdesk had picked up any breaking news, as I normally do.

Little did I, or anyone else, know at that point that the most horrific of events had unfolded on our city's streets overnight. A brutal killer had taken the lives of three innocent people - Barney Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates - and would leave a permanent scar on our city.

The whole of Nottingham city centre was on lockdown; cordoned off. Police were everywhere and there were no trams........
