Henry Nowak

Murdered British student

On 3 December 2025, Henry Nowak, an 18‑year‑old British university student, was murdered by Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old British Sikh, in Southampton, England. Digwa stabbed Nowak five times with a dagger, including a fatal wound to the chest. When police officers from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary arrived, Digwa falsely accused Nowak of assault and racism. As the police handcuffed him, Nowak repeatedly told the officers that he had been stabbed. One officer replied, "I don't think you have, mate". Nowak pleaded that he could not breathe. He was arrested and died at the scene shortly afterwards.
