Henry Nowak's family speak about son's murder and police response

The family of Henry Nowak, 18, have described learning he was murdered in Southampton in December 2025 after being stabbed five times.

The family of Henry Nowak have spoken publicly for the first time about learning their son had been murdered in Southampton in December 2025. The 18-year-old was stabbed five times by Vickrum Digwa, 23, who falsely told police that Henry had racially abused him. Police handcuffed Henry as he lay dying, repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe. His family described the trauma of receiving police notification in the early hours, and the additional distress of later watching body-worn camera footage showing officers arresting him whilst injured. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced an independent review into the case.
