Bodycam Shows Police Dismissing Dying Student's Pleas While Handcuffed

Hampshire Police handcuffed Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old Southampton finance student, as he lay fatally wounded on December 3, 2025. Bodycam footage released June 2 captures Nowak repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed and couldn't breathe. When he said "I've been stabbed," an officer replied "I don't think you have mate." Vickrum Digwa, 23, was convicted of the murder. Officers' failure to recognize trauma symptoms in a stabbing victim has triggered multiple investigations into police training and emergency response protocols.
