🚨 BREAKING: Bodycam footage of the arrest of Henry Nowak, who had been stabbed moments prior by Vickrum Digwa
Henry Nowak's death is more horrific than you think: >Henry was stabbed ~11:30 pm, Henry was not pronounced dead until 67 minutes later (12:37 am). It gets worse... > During this time. Dagwa & his brother (who arrived shortly after the attack, it was his brother who phoned 999, not to phone an ambulance, he phoned police alleging Henry attacked them. >It's been reported that there was some deliberation/ delay before phoning 999. Alleging Henry drunkenly attacked them (Henry was sober; blood alcohol below the drink-drive limit). Digwa's brother wanted to punish Henry. >Exact quotes from the call (read out in court at Southampton Crown Court): “We’ve just got attacked racially by some white person. He’s physically attacked my brother, we’re Sikhs, we wear a turban and he’s just attacked my brother. We’re restraining him right now because he’s just attacked my brother and took my brother’s turban off. He also said, he’s verbally attacked my brother racially. I’m not having this as a regular occurrence, I live here, I’m not having this a regular occurrence. He ain’t fighting people, he’s racially attacking people, that’s what he’s doing. Nah, he sees some brown people, that’s what it was.” > were restraining Henry until the police arrived (Digwa stole Henry's phone so he couldn't get help). >When the police arrived, Digwa's father was holding Henry against a wall (his father said: "He keeps dropping down, so I am just trying to keep him up". There was also a visible blood trail, but it is unknown when officers first noticed it (different sources described it when the police entered the scene, another was after Henry passed out). >His mother removed the murder weapon from the scene. >Police bodycam footage was played in court (audio only, no video; another source said a transcript was read): Henry says “I am dying”; Digwa replies “You’re not dying bro.” {Approximately 10 minutes later}: Henry says “You stabbed me”; Digwa denies it and accuses Nowak of recording him. Henry's final recorded words: “Please brother, I can’t breathe.” {He passed out a few minutes later} >Before the attack, Henry was recording a video of Digwa on his phone, it is a weird exchange: Henry singing/yawning, then addressing Digwa: “Innit bad man, what bad man. You’re a bad man, say you’re a bad man, go on.” Digwa replied: “I am a bad man.” The footage ended shortly before the stabbing. Some critical details that haven't been released: >The time the 999 call was made. >The full 999 transcript. >The time the police arrived. >The time an ambulance was called (an air ambulance >flew in a doctor). I question the order of the stabbing: >There's a lack of defensive wounds on Henry's arms and hands (Henry was sober). >I believe Henry was stabbed in the groin and the back if the legs while he was trying to scale a fence to get away (you can't easily get to a man's groin area, there's a reason they're nicknamed the 'crown jewels'). Also, stab wounds to that area can be catastrophic; The aorta and arteries to the legs (the largest in the body) flow through there, not to mention the nerve endings. The way they pinned Henry against a wall, where he would be losing blood faster. >Given what I have read so far, I don't understand why there haven't been charges against the brother & father. They were aware that Henry had been stabbed, but they continued to forcefully detain him (the very definition of false imprisonment). I'd argue it was sadistic torture. You can make the excuse of a single Sekh having mental health issues (they will), but that doesn't excuse the actions of Digwa's brother, mother & father.
