A murder case in Southampton, England has sparked outrage after police officers handcuffed a fatally wounded teenager while the man who stabbed him falsely claimed to be the victim of racist abuse. Authorities are now facing an investigation into their response following the conviction of the suspect for the muder of 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak.
Prosecutors told Southampton Crown Court that Vickrum Digwa, 23, stabbed Nowak multiple times during an altercation in December 2025. When officers arrived at the scene, Digwa allegedly accused the injured student of racial abuse and claimed he had acted in self-defence.
