Henry Nowak’s dad delivers powerful message to police as son’s killer jailed | 5 News

► Arrested as he lay dying in the street. Henry Nowak was stabbed repeatedly while walking back to his student halls after a night out in Southampton in December 2025. His killer, Vickrum Digwa, then lied to police, claiming he was the victim of racial abuse. Henry, 18, was handcuffed and arrested, as he lay dying. The police watchdog is now investigating. Digwa, 23, was today jailed for a minimum of 21 years. Speaking after the sentencing, Hampshire police and crime commissioner Donna Jones called Henry’s death a “national tragedy”. She added: “It is devastating the officers did not believe Henry when he said he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe.” ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
