Heard of him? Probably not, because there seems to be an almost complete news blackout about him. Basically the police handcuffed him and let him bleed out because they thought he may have said something racist - he didn't, it was a lie told by his murderer. Henry was 18.

It is disgraceful. Poor Henry. Why has the police footage not been released?

Because the outrage would be huge?

How can it be allowed though? On what grounds are the police allowed to withhold the footage? They are public servants?

Was it shown in court?

Stand up to racism! No words….

Not according to many posters on this thread…. Headline news apparently

It was on BBC's 1o'clock news today.🤯

OneStarAwake · 01/06/2026 14:32

And BBC has live feed on the sentencing of Digwa. @Allseeingallknowing and @JuliaBraverman must not be paying attention.

Headline news for England on BBC

I only hope that Henry’s family take up Musk’s offer to fund the prosecution of the police who allowed Henry to die.

Allseeingallknowing · 01/06/2026 14:43

It seems to have been avoided for a while though, mentioned briefly, but not given as much priority as the Manchester situation.

rolloverbeethoven · 01/06/2026 14:43

I think they meant the protests at the vigil. Unspeakable.

Maybe look at increasing your news sources. The murder of Henry Nowak has been across all the main news sources, BBC, ITN Sky News, Channel 4 News and in the online/print media.

The media is not avoiding this.

JaneFondue · 01/06/2026 14:58

I have seen it everywhere so there's no blackout.
I have never heard of a Sikh using his ceremonial kirpan before. It must be very rare.

You said for the last week in a pp.

It didn’t happen a week ago.

Yes and if you are white you have no chance. Apparently only black lives matter these days.

Really? I read about black men being stabbed to death daily in London.

I thought there was no violent crime in London and it was all perfectly safe?

Yes. Khan has reduced crime in London to zero apparently. Zilch. Nada. Fck all. Well that's what he an labour people keep telling us.

Khan has never said that, nor has anyone else, don't be silly.

Well, I feel safe and come back at midnight alone on the Tube.

But of course there is some violent crime. Which again is declining.

I am not white though, so that acts as an invisible force field deterring criminals of all races.

That sounds different to recent claims London is safer.
