If you thought the Henry Nowak horror story was bad, you don’t know the half of it. For those who don’t know the story, Henry was an 18-year-old white college freshman who was brutally stabbed by a man of color in a turban named Vickrum Digwa. The killer called police ten minutes after the stabbing, but claimed Henry attacked them. When the police showed up, the killer continued to pretend that Henry was racist and punched him. The police immediately believed the killer, handcuffed Henry, and left him to die.
It gets so much worse.
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.
In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.

The judge who sentenced the killer to 21 years to life wouldn’t let the public view a horrific five-minute video of the killer taunting Heny because it was too shocking. The motivation? We don’t know, but the killer was likely racist.
The Daily Mail has some of the information, but not the video. Be forewarned, it’s terrible.
The Daily Mail has now published details from sentencing that almost no one has reported. As Henry Nowak—bleeding from five stab wounds—tried to climb a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence to escape, Vickrum Digwa filmed him. And taunted him. “You’re not going to get away with this, big man.” Henry landed on top of a parked car on the other side of the fence.
Digwa walked round and took close-up photos of him lying on the ground.
A home security camera then captured what may be the most chilling exchange:
Henry: “I am dying.”
Digwa: “You’re not dying bro.”
Ten minutes later, Henry said: “You stabbed me.”
Digwa replied: “No, I didn’t.”
In the ten minutes that followed the stabbing, Vickrum Digwa did not call an ambulance. He filmed Henry for a full five minutes instead.
That clip was deemed too disturbing to be played in court.
The video was too disturbing to release.
Think of what this means. A judge and a jury sat through video of Digwa describing his blade in “loving terms,” through bodycam of Henry being handcuffed as he died, through pathologist evidence of the eight-centimetre chest wound, and the only piece of footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was the five minutes Vickrum Digwa spent filming an 18-year-old as he bled to death on a Southampton pavement.
The judge said it in sentencing: “You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.”
The lie Digwa told the police did not begin when officers arrived. It began ten minutes earlier, in Henry’s face, as Henry told him he was dying.
This is what Hampshire Police walked into. This is the man they believed when they got there. This is what the court has now formally established took place between the stabbing and Henry’s death.
The five-minute video exists. Henry’s family knows what is on it. The court knows what is on it. The public does not. It is too disturbing to be shown. But not too disturbing to have been done to him. Henry—forever 18.
The police helped kill him?
The knife pierced a vein, not an artery, and the police handled him roughly, probably accelerating the bleeding. They are finally under investigation.
🚨 JUST IN: The coroner has officially ordered an investigation into if UK police “CAUSED or CONTRIBUTED” to 18-year-old Henry Nowak’s death
GOOD, prepare to IMPRISON the cops!
He’s white, so this is ONLY happening because of worldwide uproar
Don’t let off the pressure!…

The disgusting politicians are attacking the protests of the way Henry was treated.
Protesters knelt in honor and asked police to do it. The same police who knelt for George Floyd, a career criminal who likely died of a drug overdose, would not kneel for the white boy.
Labour politicians are behaving badly.

Here is Keir, kneeling for George Floyd. This week, he railed against anyone allegedly politicizing Henry’s death.
Starmer claimed he was simply following the family’s wishes in objecting to the protests.
