The lies told by the man who killed Henry Nowak have been exposed in newly obtained police body-worn video from the night of his death, released following a request by the BBC.

Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of the 18-year-old Southampton university student after stabbing him multiple times last December.

The new footage shows Digwa's repeated and insistent "wicked lies" to officers about having been "racially attacked" and his false claims that Henry was "obviously drunk".

It also backs an assertion by the Nowak family that Digwa was "never handcuffed", as Henry was while he lay dying. The contrast in the men's treatment by Hampshire police was described as "unbearable" by the family.

Previously released video of Henry in handcuffs caused national outrage and sparked violent disorder in Southampton.

Hampshire police has also confirmed to BBC South that Digwa was "never handcuffed" during his four days in custody prior to being charged.

Wow it took them 10 minutes to realize and arrest the scumbag...

I dont know if I blame the officers or the DEI training and sh*t they're now taught?

Clearly it influences them.

The focus of this article is on Digwa - the criminal - lying to police. And in other news, rain is wet. Of course a criminal is going to lie to police. Big f’ing deal. This is misdirection. Focusing the story on Digwa and not the real outrage - the fact that the police did not treat Digwa like a lying criminal. In any other situation, the police would see right through Digwa’s lies and treat him like a criminal. Not a victim.
