Police Apologise For Handcuffing Dying Teen Henry Nowak as Murderer Found Guilty

Hampshire Police said officers failed to recognise Henry Nowak’s stab wounds and the Independent Office for Police Conduct opened an investigation after the conviction.

  • Hampshire Police issued an apology after officers handcuffed 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak as he lay dying from stab wounds in Southampton during a December 2025 incident.
  • Vickrum Digwa, 23, was found guilty of murder on Thursday after falsely claiming he was the victim of racist abuse, manipulating officers into arresting the fatally wounded student instead.
  • Prosecutors revealed Digwa carried a 21cm knife and kept an "arsenal of weapons" in his bedroom, while Sikh organizations distanced the faith from the attack, noting the weapon was not a traditional ceremonial kirpan.
  • The Independent Office for Police Conduct is independently investigating the officers' contact with Nowak prior to his death, with a spokesman stating, "Our thoughts and sympathies are with Henry Nowak's family and everyone affected by his death."
  • Digwa will be sentenced at Southampton Crown Court on Monday, while Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Robert France apologized for officers' failure to immediately recognize the severity of Nowak's injuries, pledging transparency.
