Starmer says he ‘felt sick’ watching Henry Nowak bodycam footage

• Sir Keir Starmer expressed profound shock and concern over footage depicting police handcuffing dying student Henry Nowak.
• The incident took place on 3 December 2025 in Southampton, where 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed Mr Nowak.
• Body-worn camera footage shows Mr Nowak repeatedly stating he had been stabbed, prompting an officer to reply, ‘Don’t think you have, mate.’
• The prime minister called for an examination into how the killer’s ‘accusations of racism’ may have influenced police decision-making at the scene.
• The Independent Office for Police Conduct is currently investigating the case, with its report anticipated within the next three months.
