Police Apologise For Handcuffing Dying Teen Henry Nowak as Murderer Found Guilty
A Sikh man who claimed to have been the victim of a racist attack has been found guilty of murder for the slaying of student Henry Nowak, the death of whom became notorious after it was revealed he was handcuffed by police and ignored while he bled to death.
A murderer who lied to police about having repeatedly stabbed a teenager, and covered for himself by telling a “wicked lie” about his victim having committed racist abuse against him, has been found guilty by a jury at Southampton Crown Court in Hampshire, England this afternoon. Police welcomed the conviction, but also apologised for having believed the knifeman’s lies, meaning Anglo-Polish victim Henry Nowak’s last conscious moments were spent handcuffed explaining that he’d been stabbed, while being told he was making it up.
After the guilty verdict was read out, it was revealed an anti-“two tier policing” protest had been called for Thursday night outside Southampton Central Police Station over the force’s reflexive instinct to believe the racism accusation while ignoring the factual stabbing report.
The jury of eight women and four men started their deliberations at lunchtime on Wednesday and found 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa guilty of murder on Thursday afternoon. Digwa was also found guilty of carrying a knife in a public place. Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur was also found guilty on her charge of assisting an offender by removing the murder weapon from the scene and stashing it at their family home.
The BBC reports Digwa showed no emotion as the jury reported, that Kaur was “visibly upset”, and that “sobs” could be heard from the public gallery.
Killer Digwa will be sentenced on Monday, the judge said. Mother Kaur’s sentencing is to be delayed until July 17th to allow the preparation of a pre-sentencing report, reports Sky News.
As previously reported, Nowak and Digwa met by chance in the city of Southampton on December 3rd 2025. The court heard that accountancy and finance student Nowak had been out socialising with friends from his student football team and had consumed alcohol that evening but at his time of death was not intoxicated and could have legally driven a car.
Words were exchanged between the men and Digwa chased and stabbed Nowak five times, including twice in the back of the legs and once in the chest. After some time, a delay which apparently gave an opportunity for several members of Digwa’s family to arrive at the scene, police were eventually called and told there had been a racist attack, with no mention of a stabbing.
When officers arrived at the scene they arrested the now-dying Henry Nowak and ignored his protests at having been stabbed until it became impossible to ignore that he was drowning in his own blood. Officers then attempted to resuscitate Nowak and summoned an air ambulance, but he was later declared dead at the scene.
Earlier in the hearings, the court was shown police bodycam footage. As officers arrive at the scene Nowak is seen being held up against a wall by murderer Digwa’s father, who accused the victim of “pretending” to have been injured, while the teen complained of being unable to breathe. Nowak’s chest cavity was at this time filling with blood because one of his knife wounds had cut an artery.
Police were then seen arresting Nowak in the video, who is lying on his side on the ground, and again trying to tell the officers that he had been stabbed, to which an unseen male replies, “I don’t think you have, mate”.
A police spokesman apologised for his officers having arrested slain teen Nowak at the scene of the crime, insisting they were doing their best based on the lies they’d been told, and citing the pathologist who said officers wouldn’t have been capable of saving Nowak from the deep wound even if they’d believed him.

Totally irrelevant. Nowak told the cops he'd been stabbed and they refused to believe him or bothered to check.

“A Labour Peer has accused US Vice President JD Vance of making 'extremist statements without evidence' over the murder of Southampton student Henry Nowak.
Baroness Thangam Debbonaire, a former member of Sir Keir Starmer's shadow cabinet, said today that Mr Vance was 'wrong' to get involved in UK politics and it was 'insulting for an ally to use the language he had used'. …”
More nonsense follows. Yeah, the UK is completely lost. I’m amazed that it hasn’t rejoined the EU yet.
Earlier Mr Vance drew a stern rebuke from Downing Street after he called for 'righteous anger' over Mr Nowak's killing and blamed his murder on migration.
He claimed that Mr Nowak, who was stabbed to death by Sikh Vickrum Digwa in Southampton last year, would 'still be alive today... if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it'.
Mr Vance added: 'Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won't be the last,' he added. 'Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response – the only response – is righteous anger.'
Well, he's not wrong. They just don't want to hear it.

Great Britain relies on us for their nuclear arms system functioning properly and accurately. I’m not sure we them having such capabilities is prudent given their increasing unreliability… nor am I comfortable with their Islamic masters having access to ANY nuclear material in their uncertain future.

Minneapolis to Hampshire: Mass Derangement to Murder
The murder of Henry Nowak at the hands of a protected minority -- and the police -- has become the spark that set Britain ablaze.
Clarice Feldman | June 7, 2026
It’s ironic how the lies related to George Floyd’s death led to murder in Great Britain. They will probably finally lead to the ouster of Keir Starmer and the ravaging of the UK’s Labour Party which bought those lies and capitalized on them.
George Floyd, a lifelong criminal and narcotic addict, died of fentanyl poisoning, but in a disgusting miscarriage of justice, his death while in custody was used to imprison innocent law enforcement officers, fund the crooked Black Lives Matter, and justify countless riots, which mostly harmed black citizens and put black-owned enterprises out of business.
Konstantin Kisin memorializes this mass derangement event:
Cast your mind back exactly 6 years. It is the summer of 2020 and Britain is undergoing what its commentariat breathlessly described as a “reckoning.” The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, thousands of miles away, sent hundreds of thousands of British people into the streets. As American cities burned, across the pond, statues were toppled. Multinational corporations issued groveling statements. Police officers -- British police officers, in British cities, policing British people -- took a knee before British protesters. So did Keir Starmer, then leader of the opposition and now prime minister. So did every major soccer team in the country. People were fired, companies changed, a new code of acceptable behavior was drawn up. Life in Britain changed, if not quite as much as it did across the Atlantic.
The message that was repeated endlessly by politicians, journalists, and institutions of every stripe was unambiguous: Racism kills, and we will do whatever it takes to make sure it never happens again.
In Sussex, England (undoubtedly as in most of the country, as daily examples of two-tier British justice appear in X daily), a concerted brainwashing (“ideological conditioning” in JD Vance’s more polite terms) of law enforcement officers went into effect.
A 28 Day Journey To Dismantle Your Inner White Supremacy. Sussex Police [Hampshire’s neighbor] Called It Leadership Training.
"Me and White Supremacy" by Layla F. Saad describes itself in its own words. It is a 28 day truth telling journey to guide people with white privilege to discover, examine, unpack and dismantle their inner white supremacy. It is a one of a kind resource for people with white privilege to do the internal personal work of anti-racism. Its purpose is to facilitate personal and collective change to dismantle the oppressive system of white supremacy.
This book was the basis for a Senior Officer Book Club within Sussex Police. According to the "It Starts With Me" annual report published on the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner's website, Sussex Police launched the book club to embed anti-racist thinking at the highest levels of leadership. Senior officers described it as one of the most impactful books they had ever read. [snip]
The strategic leadership of Sussex Police, the people responsible for the decisions that shape how the county is policed, were guided through a 28 day programme designed to make them discover, examine and dismantle their inner white supremacy. Not their unconscious bias. Not their cultural assumptions. Their inner white supremacy. Those are the book's own words.
The founding philosophy of British policing could not be more different. Sir Robert Peel established the Metropolitan Police in 1829 on a principle that has guided every officer since. The police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law. [snip] That principle has nothing to say about white privilege, inner white supremacy or dismantling oppressive systems. It has everything to say about treating every citizen equally before the law.
The Sussex Police book club is not an isolated initiative. It sits alongside the Metropolitan Police document that informs officers that neutrality is a myth and that their whiteness prevents impartiality. The NPCC [National Police Chiefs Council] guidance telling officers that racial equity does not mean treating everyone the same or being colour blind. The Hampshire Race Action Plan committing to pursue offenders causing harm to ethnic minority communities specifically. The College of Policing practice bank covering white privilege, white fragility and intersectionality. [snip]
The ideology that produced this book club does not respect party boundaries. It has captured British policing across both parties and across decades. This week Shabana Mahmood stood at the despatch box and said the police have a sacred duty to act without fear or favour. She is right. A senior officer book club designed to make the strategic leadership of British policing confront their inner white supremacy is not consistent with that duty. It is its precise opposite.
The question Henry Nowak's death demands is not whether individual officers made a mistake. It is whether the ideology embedded in British policing at every level, from the book clubs of senior officers to the diversity training of frontline constables, is compatible with the absolute impartial service to the law that Peel demanded and that every officer still swears to uphold.
That is not to say that the officials are not solely to blame in the handling of the stabbing murder of Henry Nowak. Their actions defy defense: They took too long to get to the scene, they defied ordinary common sense in ignoring obvious wounds, reading Henry his rights as he slipped into unconsciousness, handcuffing and dragging him over gravel as he pleaded that he was dying and could not breathe. Afterward, perhaps trying to find some post-mortem justification for the murder or their despicable conduct, they seized Nowak’s phone and that of his father, looking in vain for racist remarks, which in “batshit crazy Britain” (credit Katie Hopkins) remains a worse crime if by non-protected persons than does murder.
Indeed, once the cops figured out that Vickrum Digwa was the stabber and Nowak was dead, they did not handcuff him. Instead, they accompanied him to the police station, where they allowed him the food of his choice. Even more damning, three days after the police were well aware of what occurred, they tried, but failed, to portray Nowak as the aggressor. Only his family's outraged response checked that planned deflection.
The murder took place in December. The British press doe not let people know what’s important to know, in part because there are in the UK restrictions on press coverage during trials. Until the close of the trial and Digwa’s conviction when the body cam footage of the police arrest of Nowak was made available, the public knew little more than that Nowak was an upstanding young man who had been stabbed and died. A few days ago (which is over five months later), the Telegraph offered up a detailed timeline of the murder and the police actions.
The overly compliant British public seems finally to be aroused, and in a further act of official self-protection, an inquest into the matter was just postponed for 15 months. Nevertheless, the coroner announced that it is compelled to do its job now. Since Nowak was stabbed five times, had two chest wounds, two leg wounds, a groin wound, and a face cut, his mouth was filled with blood and he was clearly exsanguinating as he was being dragged and handcuffed, I doubt the coroner will find anything to exonerate anyone on the force.
In the meantime, as the details of the murder of Henry Nowak are more widely known, public outrage against Labour, wokism, two-tier policing grow. On Saturday, there were reports of the public entering police stations and taking a knee for Henry. Online, thousands of Britons are doing the same. A public already sick of Starmer and his policies is only angrier by the day, and you can bank on his party trying to stem the tide by forcing his resignation as soon as they settle on a replacement.

Regardless of what we may think of the UK at this moment for the many valid reasons, we should not forget that they could be one of the most—if not the most—important allies we have. If no man is an island unto himself, the same is true of any nation on the planet.
We can only hope—and pray, if so inclined—that the sensible people there will realize what they must do to save their country from ruin.

Ongoing Fallout from Nowak Murder Case
The context and details of the Nowak murder case continue highlighting what cultural Marxism does in policing when combined with aggressive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) demands.
The British publication Sunday Times (paywall) is now reporting that three days after the trial of Vickrum Digwa began; as the police began facing scrutiny and needed to get out in front of the massive public outrage that was coming toward them; the police wanted to produce a statement telling the public Nowak’s death wasn’t really their fault, they were trained to believe the voices of racial minorities over the voices of white people.
The police wanted to issue a statement essentially telling the public of their intent to clarify things once the trial was completed. [This sounds like “a guilty conscience.’] However, the prosecution team stopped the police from issuing any statement. This expanding context is making the issues within the U.K even more toxic and more explosive.
I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence. The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.

And because some may quibble about that and ask, “What possible assistance could they ever give to us in any way in the future?” I’ll try to explain my thinking a bit further.
Countries in the civilized West (and I mean “civilized” literally) are most important to the US at this stage of history because of what they’re not:
Not theocracies run by death-obsessed fanatics who would eagerly destroy the world on behalf of their insane religious beliefs.
Not secular religion Communist regimes run by fanatics who know that their territorial expansion objectives and their covert wars against their more successful competitors are among the best ways of keeping their subjects under control and their own positions secure.
Not countries run by murderous criminal gangs and warlords catering to the addictions of customers around the world, and especially in countries that don’t execute people for using or handing lethal drugs.
Not an aggressive country holding vast stocks of actual weapons of mass destruction and run by a megalomaniac autocrat who views himself as one of the great tsars who ensured his country would rightly be respected for its proper place in the world.*
Every country that doesn’t fall into one of those categories (and others) is a benefit to us, right here, right now, and if all we can do to keep them from being like one of those is to hope or pray, it’s worth doing that.

Belfast Horror: African Migrant Tries To Saw Off Victim's Head In Street Attack
Authored by Steve Watson via modernity,
Authorities and the media have scrambled to soften language around a graphic knife assault last night by an apparent African migrant that has left a local Belfast man fighting for his life with devastating injuries.
Horrifcic footage shows the attacker straddling the victim and repeatedly stabbing his head before sawing at his neck in a clear attempt to behead him. Bystanders screamed in horror as the attack unfolded. However, police have described it as nothing more than a "stabbing incident" involving "a man."
The assault happened shortly after 10:30pm on Monday on Kinnaird Avenue in north Belfast. the attacker hacked at his victim's head and neck with a small box cutter style Stanley knife. Locals rushed in to drag the assailant off, batting him with blunt objects before police finally arrived.
The post continues, "...Ordinary people saved that man's life. And while that was happening Keir Starmer was in Westminster figuring out how to arrest you for posting about it. Open borders. Two tier policing. Unarmed citizens fighting off attackers alone. This is the Britain Labour built."
Others stated they wouldn't have been surprised to see the locals who tried to subdue the attacker being arrested, a reference to revelations regarding the Henry Nowak case.
Leftist apologists immediately rushed to psychiatric excuses before any details emerge about the attacker's identity, background, or possible motive.

At least that can be said for some of the people there. How likely would such intervention against an armed criminal be in other places—including right here in this country? (And no, I’m not referring to anyone here who was properly armed themselves, but the vast majority.)

I was thinking that the screaming homicidal idiot was in a picture perfect position to be kicked hard in the head, with it likely bouncing once or twice on the pavement before his street slumber began.
Had there been no police around, you might even see the original perpetrators' noggin lying separated from its former position.
