## Resource

In December 2025, 18-year-old Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed in Southampton. According to court proceedings and body-camera footage later released, police initially treated Nowak as a possible suspect rather than the victim. He was handcuffed while seriously injured, despite repeatedly saying he had been stabbed. The killer, Vickrum Digwa, and relatives allegedly gave officers a false account suggesting that Digwa had been the victim of a racist attack.
