Starmer 'humbled' after meeting Henry Nowak family as he calls for calm
Starmer will hear the family’s concerns about police conduct and possible legal changes after Henry Nowak’s killer received a minimum 21-year term.
- On Thursday afternoon, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met the family of Henry Nowak at Downing Street, saying he was "profoundly humbled" and pledging to take "whatever action is required to right the wrongs in this case."
- Vickrum Digwa received a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years for fatally stabbing Nowak with a 21cm ceremonial knife, while violent protests erupted recently after officers allegedly ignored the teenager's pleas he could not breathe.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch met the family Thursday morning, where they urged politicians to avoid using the tragedy to "whip up division" and to "bring common sense back" to policing and equality under law.
- Starmer accused billionaire Elon Musk of "interfering in our politics" over the case, while Reform MP Robert Jenrick defended Nigel Farage's call for "pure, cold rage" as demonstrating leadership rather than stoking division.
- Calls have emerged to re-examine religious exemptions permitting dangerous weapons in public and rebuild trust in the police, as Nowak's family seeks a positive legacy honoring his memory beyond the tragedy.
