Henry Nowak killing: Grief, anger and questions

Asian Network Trending

Available for 33 days

18‑year‑old Henry Nowak was stabbed to death as he walked home from a night out in Southampton in December 2025. His killer, 23‑year‑old Vickrum Digwa, claimed he was the victim of a racist attack, a lie later rejected in court, but one that shaped those crucial first minutes when police arrived. Police bodycam footage shows the 18-year-old Southampton university student being handcuffed and telling police "I can't breathe". Digwa was convicted of murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years. This is a heartbreaking case that has sparked a huge national conversation about policing, knife crime and race in Britain. The biggest stories affecting Asian Network listeners across the UK. With Amber Haque. Produced in Birmingham by Samsaara Productions for Âé¶¹Éç Asian Network.
