The father of a university student fatally stabbed by a Sikh man has described how he is “tormented” by thoughts of his son bleeding to death on the floor chained in handcuffs while police treated his murderer with “decency”.
Henry Nowak was arrested in the minutes before he died after Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied and claimed he had racially abused him, knocked his turban off, and assaulted him.
On Monday, at Southampton Crown Court, Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years for stabbing the 18-year-old to death on Dec 4 last year.
Judge William Mousley KC said Henry had been “defenceless” when he was murdered by Digwa.
Henry’s father, Mark Nowak, said he constantly replayed what Henry must have been thinking as he was placed in handcuffs while struggling to breathe.

And where is the part about the police officers going to prison for murder or accessory to murder? Some have resigned from duty and there’s some investigation while there is video evidence of them openly dismissing the claim and somehow missing 3 stab wounds?
And how about the stabber’s family who confirmed the lies and stood around watching him die?

His family have just been charged. It took public outrage for that to happen, 7 months after the fact.
Let’s hope the cops are next.
