Two police officers are under investigation for gross misconduct following the wrongful arrest of white murder victim Henry Nowak, who was fatally stabbed by a Sikh man in Southampton.

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Two police officers are being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) for potential gross misconduct in connection with the wrongful arrest and subsequent death of white student Henry Nowak, 18, who had been fatally stabbed by Vickrum Digwa, 23, with a Sikh religious dagger in Southampton, England. 📺 DETAIL: Henry Nowak told police officers he had been stabbed and asked for an ambulance, but they refused to believe him and arrested him based on an unsubstantiated allegation of racism from his murderer, later deemed to be false in court. Nowak lost consciousness shortly after being handcuffed and pinned on his side and later died, with police taking eight minutes to realize he had been stabbed. Notably, Digwa was never put in handcuffs, even after he was arrested for attempted murder. The officers are being investigated for alleged breaches of professional standards, including their use of force, duties and responsibilities, and conduct. Vickrum Digwa, 23, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment on June 1 for Nowak’s murder, but will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum term of just 21 years. 🎯 IMPACT: The IOPC investigation intensifies the questions around the police response to Nowak’s murder, with Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage and many others suspecting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology and anti-white prejudice led officers to treat Digwa’s allegations of racism more seriously than Nowak saying he had been stabbed. Notably, official police guidance says that, to achieve “racial equity” and “equality of policing outcomes,” different ethnic groups in Britain should be treated differently, not the same. |
