The actual stabbing occurred in December 2025, but the details are only coming out in the trial of the murder suspect. From the Daily Signal:
A teenage stabbing victim bled to death on the street in Southampton after British police arrested and cuffed him rather than his alleged Sikh attacker, after the suspect claimed he’d been racially abused, according to court testimony.
Henry Nowak, 18, a finance student at the University of Southampton, was walking home from a night out in December 2025, chatting with some friends on Snapchat, when he was encountered by Vickrum Digwa, 23. After a brief exchange, Digwa stabbed Nowak with an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial shastar blade, according to court testimony reported by BBC. A post-mortem examination showed Nowak had four stab wounds, BBC reported.
Nowak tried to escape over a fence, but was “aggressively pursued” by Digwa, jurors were told.
However, when Hampshire Constabulary police officers arrived at the scene, they arrested the dying Nowak rather than Digwa after the suspect claimed he’d been “racially abused and attacked by a drunken man,” prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg KC said, ITV News reported.
Nowak was handcuffed and police administered first aid before he fell unconscious, according to Lobbenberg. He died a short time later at the scene. “Put simply,” the prosecutor told jurors, “Henry drowned in his own blood, with his lung having been cut by the knife going eight centimeters into him.”
Digwa claims that Nowak was being racist and he acted in self-defense (has England sunk so low that lethal force is justified against someone saying something you don't like?). However, it appears to have been a robbery as video from Nowak's phone--recovered from Digwa's pocket--doesn't record any racist statements from Nowak. "Digwa was charged with murder, while his mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, was charged with assisting the offender by allegedly removing the knife from the scene. The two have pleaded not guilty to the charges."
Now how about charging the officers for letting Nowak bleed out rather than getting him medical aid, all because they believed he was a racist. I think that could potentially count as some form of homicide.
On that point is this article, "Antiracism is poisoning British policing," at UnHerd. It begins:
Yesterday, Lord Daniel Hannan tweeted: “A man is stabbed to death by someone who accuses him of being a racist — and the first thing the police do on arrival is to handcuff the dying man.” Hannan speaks to a kind of “reverse Stephen Lawrence syndrome”, whereby conservative commentators view police as institutionally biased against white people. In 1999, the Macpherson Report into Lawrence’s murder was published, finding the Metropolitan Police liable for “institutional racism” in its handling of the case.
What, though, has the Report actually achieved? Three decades of relentless antiracism seem to have pleased nobody, except for the well-remunerated professionals authoring indeterminable reviews into matters of race and diversity.
The case Hannan references concerns the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in December last year. Nowak, a white student, was allegedly murdered by Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old British Sikh. Digwa, who is standing trial at Southampton Crown Court, claims he acted in self-defense after Nowak racially abused and assaulted him. These claims are heavily disputed; Digwa’s mother is accused of concealing the murder weapon, a 21cm-long Sikh religious dagger of questionable legality. The prosecution alleges Digwa removed his turban to make it look as if Nowak pulled it off his head, while the victim’s mobile telephone was discovered in Digwa’s pocket.
Most controversially, Nowak, bleeding heavily from four stab wounds, was handcuffed at the scene by officers from Hampshire Police. The implication is clear: the police force was more concerned with matters of race than tending to a fatally injured teenager.
Much, it should be said, remains unknown. The trial is ongoing, with key facts sub judice. Hampshire Police is yet to release a statement concerning its officers’ actions. Body-worn camera footage is presumably being withheld until offered in evidence. It should also be remembered that crime scenes can be chaotic, with initial witness accounts garbled and confusing. Yet, as happened in the Stephen Lawrence case, the narrative has already stuck. Cops instinctively jumped at the dog whistle of racism, while the real victim bled out.
