Prosecutors have accepted a guilty manslaughter plea from the man who fatally stabbed three people in the Nottingham attacks.
Students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, died after being attacked on 13 June.
Valdo Calocane, 32, denied the more serious charges of murder for the three killings at a previous court hearing.
At Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (January 23) his manslaughter plea was accepted on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
He also pleaded guilty to attempting to murder three pedestrians who were hit by a van on the same morning as part of the attacks.
Calocane, who used the name Adam Mendes in court, will now be sentenced as part of a court hearing expected to last a number of days.
University of Nottingham students Ms O’Malley-Kumar and Mr Webber were fatally stabbed in Ilkeston Road, just after 4am on June 13. Mr Coates was later found fatally stabbed in Magdala Road.
Calocane later used Mr Coates van to try to run over three pedestrians in the city centre, before he was tasered by police and arrested after being stopped on Maples Street, Radford.
Thousands of people attended vigils in memory of the victims at the University of Nottingham and Old Market Square following the attacks.
