Presenter tries to float excuses for officers who ignored a dying British teen’s pleas while believing the killer’s racism claims

BBC Newsnight descended into visible discomfort as presenter Victoria Derbyshire hosted a segment on the horrific Henry Nowak bodycam footage. 

An ex-police officer, appearing as guest, stated plainly that the officers’ actions were “unfathomable.” Derbyshire attempted to suggest the police might be forgiven for stumbling onto a complex, fast-moving situation. The ex-officer refused to soften the truth, noting that when a person on the ground is bleeding out and repeatedly telling officers he has been stabbed, basic procedure demands immediate medical priority — not handcuffs and dismissal.

The exchange captured everything wrong with institutional responses to this case.

Henry Nowak, just 18 years of age, lay on the ground in Southampton on 4 December 2025, bleeding heavily from stab wounds inflicted by Vickrum Digwa. He told officers clearly and repeatedly: “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe.” 

Officers dragged him across gravel, applied handcuffs, and focused instead on Digwa — who stood complaining about a minor eye bruise — and his family’s immediate racism allegations.

Digwa was never handcuffed at the scene. Later reports indicated he received preferential treatment in custody, including the ability to choose his own meals.

The ex-officer on Newsnight was correct. Standard training leaves no ambiguity: assess medical needs and threats on arrival. A person stating they have been stabbed and cannot breathe requires urgent action. Handcuffing him while he bleeds out, while accepting the word of the man who stabbed him and his family, is indefensible. 

Poppy Coburn noted on the same Newsnight footage that a thorough, large-scale investigation into police actions is essential.

Digwa’s entire family stood over the dying Henry, pushing the racism narrative that police accepted. Some members were complicit in misleading the 999 call and tampering with the crime scene — including reports his mother hid the weapon. 

The initial police statement claimed officers were “misled” and began life-saving measures “within minutes.” That statement was deleted after the bodycam footage emerged yesterday.

Henry’s family has demanded a full independent investigation. His father delivered an eloquent yet harrowing statement that demands to be heard in full.

After Digwa was convicted and jailed for life, his family continued making racism accusations against the Nowaks in court, leading to scuffles that required intervention.

A later family statement apologising to the Nowak family was widely dismissed as manufactured — drafted to appease the Sikh community rather than reflect genuine remorse for their actions during the incident and proceedings.

GB News host Patrick Christys responded directly to their post-sentencing privacy request: 

Christys also wasn’t having any of it when a former MET Police Detective attempted to defend the police who cuffed Nowak.

Evidence has also surfaced that Digwa was known locally as a liability, previously banned from a Gurdwara, and with prior videos emerging showing him waving a sword in the street, threatening a motorist.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer only addressed the case after being forced in Parliament. His comments stayed at the level of generic knife crime rather than confronting the specific two-tier failures exposed by the footage.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage highlighted the case as clear evidence of two-tier policing, stating it showed “the rights and privileges of white people matter less.” Leftist figures immediately attacked him for “dividing” the country.

The image is stark. A British teenager lies bleeding on the ground, telling police he has been stabbed and cannot breathe. The man who stabbed him complains about a non-existent bruise. His family pushes a racism story. Police believe the standing man and his family over the dying victim. Handcuffs go on the wrong person. Life-saving measures are delayed. A statement is later deleted when the truth emerges.

This is not complexity. This is two-tier policing in real time, shaped by years of diversity training, fear of racism labels, and media narratives that condition institutions to elevate certain claims over evidence and basic humanity.

Every aspect of this response requires independent scrutiny. Officers must be held accountable. Training that prioritises optics over procedure must be scrapped. The deleted statements and preferential treatment claims must be examined without fear or favour.

Henry Nowak deserved immediate aid. Britain deserves policing that treats every citizen equally. The excuses have run out. The footage is public. The time for substantive reform is now.
