Police Arrested Wrong Person in Fatal Stabbing—and Video Now Shows Why

Body camera footage reveals Hampshire Police officers handcuffed the wrong person after a December 2025 stabbing in Southampton. Vikrum Digwa, 23, fatally stabbed student Henry Nowak with a ceremonial knife but convinced officers he was the victim of a racist attack. Officers believed him. The video's release triggered protests. A police watchdog is now investigating how officers made such a basic mistake about who hurt whom.
