Henry Nowak

Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old university student, was tragically killed in Southampton. The perpetrator, 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 20-21 years before parole eligibility. Digwa stabbed Nowak five times with a 21cm knife, which he claimed to carry for religious reasons. The case gained further attention due to an incident where police handcuffed the dying victim, Henry Nowak, after Digwa falsely accused Nowak of racial abuse. This has led to scrutiny of the police's actions in the immediate aftermath of the stabbing. Nowak's death and the subsequent handling of the scene have sparked public concern and anger.
