UK Police Release DAMNING Bodycam Footage of Themselves Handcuffing a Stabbed Henry Nowak

Twitchy:

This editor has written a couple of VIP posts about this case from the United Kingdom, which Elon Musk and others are likening to Britain's version of George Floyd. It's a tremendous scandal in England, and mobs are forming outside the police station on Tuesday after bodycam footage was finally released.

To catch up those who aren't VIP members: On May 28, 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa was found guilty of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak. Digwa, a Sikh, stabbed Nowak multiple times with an eight-inch ceremonial blade called a kirpan that he was carrying openly. When police arrived, Digwa told them he had been racially abused, so the cops put Nowak, who is white, in handcuffs even as he told the police he couldn't breathe and that he's been stabbed. There were reports that one officer told him, "I don't think you have, mate." Nowak bled to death internally while handcuffed and on the ground. In short, they were more concerned with Digwa's claim that he'd been racially abused than Nowak's telling them he'd been stabbed.

Digwa's mother was also arrested and convicted for hiding the weapon from the police.

People across Britain have been demanding the release of the bodycam footage, and it's damning for the police.

And of course ….

UK Police Handcuff University Student Who’d Been Stabbed and Later Died After Claim of Racial Abuse

… Accountancy and Finance student at the University of Southampton from Chafford Hundred in Essex, was fatally stabbed multiple times in the chest and leg while walking home from a night out with his new football teammates in the Portswood area of Southampton on December 3, 2025.

Prosecutors at Southampton Crown Court allege that Vickrum Singh Digwa, armed with a large Shastar blade, described in court as an extremely large 21cm ceremonial knife carried openly in a sheath, chased down and attacked the teenager following a brief street altercation.

Digwa claims he acted in self defence after alleging racial abuse.

According to the prosecution, the incident unfolded around 11:30pm on Belmont Road. Henry, who had been celebrating the end of his first semester, was captured on Snapchat footage sending videos to friends just moments before his death.

Digwa, reportedly carrying the oversized blade, confronted him.

Phone footage played in court shows Digwa saying, I am a bad man, as the confrontation escalated. Henry suffered a deep puncture wound to his chest, along with wounds to his leg and a cut to his jaw. He collapsed from massive blood loss and died at the scene despite desperate attempts to save him.

Disturbingly, when police arrived, they arrested and handcuffed the victim, Henry Nowak, based on Digwa's claims of racial abuse. It was only after he passed out that officers realised the severity of his injuries. First aid came too late.

Digwa, of St Denys Road, Southampton, denies murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place.

His mother, Kiran Kaur, 52, also of the same address, denies assisting an offender by hiding the murder weapon.

Both have pleaded not guilty and remain in custody. The trial, which began this week, is expected to last around 10 days.

BRENDAN O’NEILL: The merciless mistreatment of Henry Nowak.

For me, the most chilling thing in the bodycam footage of Henry Nowak’s last moments of life is the cops’ cruel presumption that he is lying. As he writhes in terror and agony and cries out ‘I’ve been stabbed!’, a voice in the background – presumably that of the lowlife who murdered him, Vickrum Digwa – says: ‘He hasn’t been stabbed.’ A female officer responds. ‘I know’, she says. ‘But we have to check, don’t we?’

I know. It is delivered with dry, bureaucratic indifference. Henry is heard moaning, begging, ‘I can’t breathe’, yet here is a representative of the state seeming to agree with his knife-wielding tormentor that he is making it up. That cold, cavalier utterance – I know – will have cemented dying Henry’s great dread: that the police were taking the side of his killer rather than him. As his young, precious life came to an end, he heard himself being disbelieved, distrusted, icily written off as a fabulist. His murderer, meanwhile, was afforded respect. The state blindly bowed to his filthy lies.

The bodycam footage of the arrest of 18-year-old Henry Nowak after he was stabbed in Southampton in December last year is horrifying beyond belief. It is one of the most harrowing two minutes of video I have ever watched. Henry can be seen sprawled in agony in a stranger’s driveway, the place he sought sanctuary after being knifed four times by Digwa. His failing voice is thick with pain and fear. What he wanted in that moment – what he needed – was to be believed. The belief of others was the only thing that might have delivered him from his terror-stricken state. But it never came. He said ‘I can’t breathe’ nine times. He said ‘I’ve been stabbed’ four times. ‘I don’t think you have, mate’, said an officer with chirpy, inhumane derision.
