Murder victim told police 'I can't breathe' while handcuffed
The 18-year-old Southampton student was handcuffed after his killer Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied to police at the scene of the 2025 stabbing claiming he had been the victim of a racist attack.
Footage released by the force, with permission from Nowak's family, shows he was pleading "I've been stabbed", and one officer responded "I don't think you have mate".
Nowak suffered stab wounds to his legs and a fatal wound to his heart with a 21cm (8in) blade that Digwa said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. He was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 21 years.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said an investigation into the police force's actions was ongoing.
The attorney general's office is considering the jail sentence given to Digwa after receiving "multiple requests" to review it under the unduly lenient sentence (ULS) scheme.
(Seriously this case reads like a far-right caricature of how the criminal justice system works but is unfortunately very real)
