A mentally ill man sent text messages to his brother expressing thoughts of murder three years before killing three people in Nottingham, an inquiry has heard.
The Nottingham Inquiry heard in 2020, before his first admission to a psychiatric ward, Calocane had sent messages to his brother about thoughts of violence and "red rum" - murder spelled backwards.
On Wednesday, a former psychiatric ward doctor told the public inquiry she never thought it was "likely" Calocane would end up killing, despite known risks.
The judge-led inquiry was shown a series of messages between Calocane and his brother Elias, from 2020 - before Calocane's first admission under the Mental Health Act to Highbury Hospital - run by the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
The trust was responsible for Calocane's care for two years before he was discharged in September 2022, months before he carried out the stabbings.
In text messages sent in early 2020, Calocane told Elias he had been unable to sleep and had "the darkest thoughts".
One message read: "Wanted to hurt... permanently."

In that conversation, Calocane - who has been referred to as VC throughout the inquiry - described to his brother changes to his mood.
The pair discussed their faith and Calocane later added he had previously been thinking about "red rum" - murder spelled backwards.
He wrote: "I know I didn't work myself into this state of mind. I was thinking about red rum not 120 minutes ago.
"Now not only do I not care, I feel appreciation."
Calocane's mother, Celeste, shared those messages with consultant psychiatrist Dr Faizal Seedat, at Highbury Hospital, the inquiry heard.
Calocane was first admitted to Highbury Hospital in May 2020 until June, after he broke into a number of flats where he lived at Brook Court, in Radford. He was admitted for a second time in July.
