Update Three:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65912592
As @KnightTemplar and @The_Renaissance have said Calocane has been charged with three counts of murder and (presumably three counts of) attempted murder. The condition of the man who was seriously injured by the van has improved to 'stable'.
Calocane, who is of no fixed address, is a dual Portuguese/Guinea-Bissau citizen who has settled status in the UK via his Portuguese citizenship. He will appear in Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

How does this work since Brexit? Yeah he's an EU citizen but what sort of status does an EU citizen have in the UK now?

From memory, and bearing in mind I am not an expert in immigration law, he's been in the UK for 24 years so he probably got settled status years before Brexit, which would not be affected by Brexit. There's a separate agreement for Irish citizens and they can enter the UK and do most things with little or no paperwork. Other EU citizens can enter for 6 months without a visa and work for a foreign company or do tourism or whatever. To live and or work for longer they need a visa. However if they started the process before Brexit the laws were/are more lenient.

Calocane aka Mendes
Calocane, who gave his name in court as Adam Mendes, has been remanded in custody and will appear in Crown Court on Tuesday.
The people he ran over have been named as Wayne Birkett, Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller. Two of them are stable and one has been discharged from hospital.
Calocane/Mendes has also been charged with assaulting a police constable following an incident in Nottingham in September 2021. This charge will be heard on the 26th of June.
On a jobs website, Calocane said he had a 'strong interest in dynamics analysis, modelling and big data analytics' as well as computer programming.
Mr Kahn said: "All the time he would just sit out the back with his top off, smoking and drinking."
A former housemate, who lived with him for a year in 2020, told the Daily Mail Calocane had told her about his deteriorating mental health.
She said he 'saw and heard things that weren't there', adding: "He seemed like a normal guy, I didn't know him too well but he didn't do drugs or drink much. He came from Guinea originally but had been in the UK for some time. What he did tell me was that he struggled with his mental health."

This killer has black privilege. Reverse the races and the motivation would have been known, and the manifesto naming everything the Mormons want to ban, would have been made public the day the murders went down.

Next time they should roll a dice and assign a motive accordingly:
1- Black supremacist
2- Radical Islamist
2- Punishing white people for colonialism
3- Abusive increase of prices of chicken and watermelon
4- The devil told me to do it
5- Cultural marxism / Transgender

Update Five:
www.dailymail.co.uk
Nottingham 'knife rampage killer' Valdo Calocane has denied murdering three people in a stabbing spree which shocked Britain.
The 32-year-old engineering graduate pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of students Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber...
At Nottingham Crown Court this morning [Tuesday the 28th of November] he also admitted the manslaughter of school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, and stealing his van, and the attempted murder of three pedestrians, whom he mowed down with the van.
But Calocane - who now goes by the name Adam Mendes - denied the murder of Ms O'Malley-Kumar, Mr Webber and Mr Coates on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
Peter Joyce KC, defending, said Calocane, who was flanked by eight people in the dock, suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. He told the judge: "You know what the issues are and the world should know this: The defendant does not dispute the physical acts of any of the prosecution's case. Though he committed these dreadful acts, he did this while he was suffering from extreme mental illness."
After admitting three counts of manslaughter Calocane admitted three counts of attempted murder, relating to pedestrians Sharon Miller, Marcin Gawronski and Wayne Birkett, who were injured after being hit by the van.
Mr Joyce said Calocane had been under the care of local mental health services from early 2020 and had been admitted several times before being discharged again.
He said police had also been called and taken him to mental health facilities after he displayed 'extremely odd... bizarre, dangerous behaviour', though he has no previous convictions.
'He ought to have been under the eye of mental health services...' Mr Joyce said.
The court heard Calocane, who is originally from Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, but moved to Nottingham to study as a mature student, was formally diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia in July 2020.
Mr Joyce said: "He has long thought he was being controlled by sonic matter from MI5."
Three reports have confirmed the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia but the Crown Prosecution Service has ordered another one to be produced.
The prosecutor Karim Khalil said the CPS would then decide whether to accept the pleas on the basis of diminished responsibility or proceed to trial on the murder charges.
The case was adjourned until January 16. Calocane was remanded into custody.

...Calocane, who identifies as Adam Mendes, was born in Guinnea-Bissau and his family moved to Madeira when he was around three years old and then to Lisbon in Portugal when he was about eight. They came to the UK in 2007 when the defendant was 16 years old.
The court was told Calocane has no previous convictions or cautions despite being involved in incidents of criminal damage and trying to force his way into flats.
It also emerged that he was involved in an alleged assault on two colleagues while working in a warehouse a month before the 'uncompromisingly brutal' killings.
He also assaulted a policeman who, with mental health personnel, broke into his dwelling for an assessment but the case was dropped.

He also assaulted a policeman who, with mental health personnel, broke into his dwelling for an assessment but the case was dropped.
Valdo Calocane's classmates had previously nicknamed him 'the psycho' due to his odd behaviour. One person who knew Calocane's flatmates said he was nicknamed 'the serial killer'.
...[O]ne former flatmate of Calocane was so scared of the 'volatile' student they put a lock on the inside of their bedroom door. They said: “He was like Jekyll and Hyde. Chilled one minute, raging the next. We called him The Psycho behind his back.”
[Calocane] had been detained four times under mental health laws before the attacks, a court was told.
Valdo Calocane claimed that MI6 was spying on him and he repeatedly failed to take anti-psychotic medication for his mental health condition.
A brother of Calocane told investigators that he became aware of his sibling's mental health problems during his degree studies, 'believing that he was being spied on by his housemates and by MI6, and that his family was under threat'.
Calocane had a four-year history of mental issues. These spiralled during lockdown, triggering the spate of alarming incidents which brought him to the attention of the university, police and healthcare professionals.
One young woman was so terrified after being followed into her accommodation by Calocane that she jumped out of a window to escape him – sustaining serious injuries - a source said.
The woman's mother was said to be so concerned she is believed to have contacted the university about Calocane, but he was allowed to continue his studies.
...Calocane... had previously tried to hand himself into the MI5 headquarters in London.
During his opening of the facts of the three killings on 13 June, prosecutor Karim Khalil KC
said: "The theme of [Calocane] being prescribed medication but declining to take it is a constantly recurring one."
On the 23rd of May 2020 Calocane attended hospital believing he was having a heart attack, and was arrested after returning to his flat and causing damage to a door.
An assessment under the Mental Health Act 1983 was carried out at a Nottingham custody suite by psychiatric services, who concluded that Calocane was psychotic but that his risk to others was low.
He was then referred to a crisis team for review at home and was released without charge.
Mr Khalil said: "Upon his return to his apartment an hour later, however, he knocked down another door to a different apartment in the block. He was arrested for criminal damage, and following a re-assessment was detained under the Mental Health Act and was admitted to in-patient psychiatric services at the Highbury Hospital."
Calocane was discharged from Nottingham's Highbury Hospital on the 17th of June 2020 into the care of the Nottingham City Crisis Team.
He was advised to take medication for a minimum of six to nine months, and to seek medical advice if he wished to stop taking it.
The court heard he was then readmitted to hospital for a period during July 2020 after attempting to force his way into a flat, having stopped taking his medication.
Anti-psychotic medication was 'restarted and increased', Mr Khalil said, and in August 2021 Calocane was believed to have actively concealed symptoms of psychosis during a home visit by a mental health worker.
He then evaded contact with the community team, and a warrant under the Mental Health Act was secured to gain entry to his property in order that an assessment could be conducted.
The warrant was executed on the 3rd of September 2021, when Calocane assaulted a police officer.
Mr Khalil added: "A bag of unused medication dating from February 2021 was discovered in the flat. He was admitted to in-patient services (under the Mental Health Act) and managed between September and October 2021. Thereafter he had limited contact with his community team, appearing confrontational and missing appointments."
In mid-January 2022 the defendant was involved in an altercation with a flatmate and a mental health assessment concluded that he could continue to be treated in the community.
At the end of January 2022 Calocane was again admitted as an inpatient under the Mental Health Act, being discharged on the 24th of February.
He was then reviewed in March 2022 in an outpatient clinic and in July 2022 claimed, it is believed falsely, that he was not in the country.

Grace O'Malley-Kumar showed 'incredible bravery' trying to defend Barnaby Webber from Valdo Calocane when he attacked them, a court heard.
Ms O'Malley-Kumar fought Calocane before he turned on her.
Her family said they were proud of her.
...[T]he University of Nottingham students Mr Webber and Ms O'Malley-Kumar, both 19, were walking home to their student accommodation after an end-of-term night-out when they were fatally stabbed in Ilkeston Road just after 4am on the 13th of June.
Prosecutor Karim Khalil KC said Mr Webber had been stabbed 'repeatedly' with a dagger, inflicting 'grave injuries' and causing him to fall to the floor. Ms O'Malley-Kumar showed 'incredible bravery' and tried to protect her friend, fighting and pushing Calocane into the road, but the killer then turned his attention to her and was 'as uncompromisingly brutal in his assault', he added.

Valdo Calocane is guilty of manslaughter, not murder, after killing three people in Nottingham last year.
Prosecutors have accepted triple-killer Calocane’s pleas of not guilty to murder and guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to mental illness, a judge at Nottingham Crown Court has been told.
Peter Joyce KC,
defending, said Calocane committed the attacks while suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. ...[he] told a previous hearing the defendant 'does not dispute the physical facts of the prosecution's case' but was suffering from 'extreme' mental illness at the time of the incident.
Mr Khalil said that three psychiatrists had assessed Calocane, concluding that despite suffering paranoid schizophrenia he would have understood the nature of his conduct in attacking three of his victims with a dagger described in court as 'a double-edged fighting knife'.
Not the actual knife.
Calocane will also be sentenced for three counts of attempted murder after he tried to run over three pedestrians with a van on the same day he killed Ms O'Malley-Kumar, Mr Webber and Mr Coates.
Calocane could face life imprisonment. The judge will also have to consider whether a hospital order is appropriate.
...Sentencing... has been adjourned until tomorrow at 10.30am, with evidence expected to be given to the court by psychiatrists. Defence KC Peter Joyce is also expected to make submissions on behalf of the defendant.

Update Seven:

It was revealed this week that a warrant for Calocane’s arrest was outstanding at the time of the attacks, after he failed to appear in court nine months earlier for an alleged assault of a police officer while he was being sectioned. [Note this contradicts earlier articles.]
Calocane, 32, who goes by the name Adam Mendes, denied murdering O’Malley-Kumar, Webber and 65-year-old caretaker Ian Coates but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
He also admitted the attempted murder of three other people who he ran over in a van. After the crown accepted his pleas, Calocane was sentenced at Nottingham crown court today.
Mr Justice Turner...
said Calocane would 'very probably' be detained for the rest of his life after 'deliberately and mercilessly' stabbing his victims. He said Calocane’s condition was 'resistant to treatment' and could not be cured, and he 'remained dangerous'.
Janine McKinney
from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the expert medical evidence was 'overwhelming' and concluded Calocane’s actions 'were substantially impaired' by psychosis caused by his paranoid schizophrenia.
The 32-year-old has been handed a hospital order, meaning he will be detained in a high-security hospital indefinitely.
He will be held in Ashworth Hospital in Maghull, near Liverpool.
