Sir Keir Starmer echoed the words of Henry Nowak's father to plead for unity in the wake of the 18-year-old student's death.
After Vickrum Digwa, 23, was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 21 years for stabbing Henry Nowak to death, Mark Nowak stood on the steps of Southampton Crown Court on Monday (1 June) and said: “We do not want [Henry's] death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to help make our streets safer for everyone."
