Henry Nowak, 18, was handcuffed by police on a Southampton street and was heard saying 'I can't breathe' as he lay dying from stab wounds on 3 December 2025, after his killer, 23-year-old neighbour Vickrum Digwa, claimed he had been the victim of racist abuse and an attack on his turban, a court has heard.
The news came after an unseen video emerged of Digwa in his back garden more than three years earlier, brandishing what appears to be a gun while another man fires at a wooden board. The footage, filmed by a former neighbour in Southampton on 18 October 2022 and now shared with the media, has deepened questions over how a young man described in court as 'weapons obsessed' was able to go on to stab Nowak five times as the student walked home from a night out.
