As More Details Come Out About Nowak Murder, It Only Gets Worse

Hampshire Police

There is so much to write about the Henry Nowak murder in Hampshire, it's hard to know where to begin. 

As horrific as we thought the whole affair was, we didn't know the half of it, and now that we are seeing the response of the Labour Party to the anger in their country, they look even worse than before, which is hard to imagine.

In this post, I want to focus on two big issues: the first being Digwa's behavior after he stabbed Nowak several times and how the evidence was hidden from everyone, and the second being how the luminaries of the Labour Party are reacting to the outbreak of rage at the callousness of the police when they arrested Nowak instead of Digwa because Nowak was accused of racism by his murderer. 

It turns out that Vickrum Digwa is far more vicious and depraved than we were led to believe, and that Britons have not been allowed to see much of the evidence. Neither was the jury, because the judge deemed the evidence too disturbing to share with them. Think about that and let it sink in: Digwa was so depraved in his behavior that the judge withheld evidence of his crime from the people who needed to know because it would enrage them. 

The judge did refer to that evidence in his sentencing document though, so we have a sense of it.

The Daily Mail has now published details from sentencing that almost no one has reported.

As Henry Nowak — bleeding from five stab wounds — tried to climb a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence to escape, Vickrum Digwa filmed him.

And taunted him.

“You’re not going to get away with this big man.”

Henry landed on top of a parked car on the other side of the fence. Digwa walked round and took close-up photos of him lying on the ground.

A home security camera then captured what may be the most chilling exchange in this entire case.

Henry: “I am dying.”

Digwa: “You’re not dying bro.”

Ten minutes later, Henry said: “You stabbed me.”

Digwa replied: “No, I didn’t.”

In the ten minutes that followed the stabbing, Vickrum Digwa did not call an ambulance. He filmed Henry for a full five minutes instead.

That clip was deemed too disturbing to be played in court.

Stop and process what that means. A judge and a jury sat through video of Digwa describing his blade in “loving terms,” through bodycam of Henry being handcuffed as he died, through pathologist evidence of the eight-centimetre chest wound — and the only piece of footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was the five minutes Vickrum Digwa spent filming an 18-year-old as he bled to death on a Southampton pavement.

The judge said it in sentencing: “You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby.”

The lie Digwa told the police did not begin when officers arrived. It began ten minutes earlier, in Henry’s face, as Henry told him he was dying.

This is what Hampshire Police walked into. This is the man they believed when they got there. This is what the court has now formally established took place between the stabbing and Henry’s death.

The five-minute video exists. Henry’s family knows what is on it. The court knows what is on it. The public does not.

It is too disturbing to be shown.

But not too disturbing to have been done to him.

Compounding this is the fact that the police are lying about Nowak's chances of survival if they had treated him differently. They claim that no matter what they did, he could never have survived. It turns out that this claim is not true, or at least very questionable, and is based on a falsehood. 

It is apparently true that if the stab wound had pierced an artery, his chances of survival were low, especially by the time they arrived. But it did not. It pierced a vein, and the resulting leak would have been far slower, because such wounds clot far more quickly, slowing the bleeding. It is likely that the act of dragging Nowak and then handcuffing as they did reopened and stretched the puncture, and that led to his quickly dying. 

But wait, there's more!

Note how after many years of falsely claiming the police are ‘systemically racist’, ie that they are two-tier in their treatment of different ethnic groups, mainstream-libs and progressives are suddenly horrified by the claim that there may be two tier policing. And claim it doesn’t exist. 

Indeed they were entirely happy to extrapolate from the fact that one man in another country died during an arrest to assert, endlessly, that this proves not only that the UK police are two-tier but that the whole of UK society is systemically racist. They got people fired for pointing out that this was not supported by basic statistical evidence, and demanded explicitly racialised policies be implemented that prioritised minority groups over white people. 

But now, if anyone mentions that those explicitly unequal policies and that divisive groupthink have resulted in possible disparities in treatment, they claim it’s far right to suggest that’s happening. 

It’s such transparent, opportunistic, unprincipled rubbish.

I have written about the reactions of Britons to the video that has been released of Nowak's arrest, and it has been, as Nigel Farage said, rage. So much rage that civil disturbances have occurred. 

The Labor Party's reaction has been as expected: condemnation of the protests and occasional violence, and assurances that there is no "two-tier" system of justice, despite the fact that police are in fact trained to treat people of different races differently to ensure cultural understanding. It's in their training documents and required sensitivity training, implemented after the George Floyd incident in the United States.

George Floyd: “Regarding protests across the U.S… I share their anger at this unspeakable outrage.”

Henry Nowak: “The scenes this evening are completely unacceptable. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.”

Unreal

It turns out that the very people who are condemning the protests over Henry Nowak's abuse by the police today were highly supportive of the riots in the United States in the summer of 2020. They fell all over themselves to support the rioters here. 

All these liberals erupted in performative outrage at the death of George Floyd, a career criminal with COVID, heart disease, and enough fentanyl and meth to kill a horse in his bloodstream, but are now outraged that Britons are upset that the police participated by extension in the murder of Henry Nowak. 

Britons being outraged at their own police force arresting a dying man on the mere accusation of racism as he bled out is unacceptable, and we all know why. 

The Home Secretary stood at the despatch box today and said there must be no two tier policing in Britain. The police have a sacred duty to act without fear or favour. Everyone is equal before the law.

Shabana Mahmood said this the day after the body cam footage of Henry Nowak's final minutes was released. A boy who told officers nine times he could not breathe and had been stabbed. An officer who replied I don't think you have, mate. A killer who was never handcuffed and was taken to choose his food while his victim died in the street. A government whose spokesman said, while that footage existed, that there is no such thing as two tier policing.

That statement lasted hours before political pressure made it untenable. It was withdrawn. Not because the government had examined the evidence. It was withdrawn because the evidence had become impossible to ignore. The Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle had to order the government to make a statement to MPs. A government that requires a Speaker's instruction to respond to one of the most disturbing pieces of body cam footage in British policing history does not take two tier policing seriously. It manages it.

Mahmood warned that anyone using this tragedy to stoke division should be rejected. But the division was not created by those naming it. It was created by decades of multicultural policy, progressive institutional capture and DEI training frameworks that systematically prioritised community cohesion over equal treatment under the law. Rotherham. Rochdale. Oldham. The Batley teacher still in hiding five years later. The Bradford hate crime scrutiny panel chairman sacked for naming the elephant in the room. And now Henry Nowak. The same cause. Different victims. Different towns. The same silence from the same institutions until silence became politically impossible.

The training that conditioned those officers to treat a racism accusation as more urgent than a dying boy's pleas was not an accident. It was built by the Police Race Action Plan, the National Police Chiefs Council's institutional racism declarations, the College of Policing's redesigned disciplinary framework and fifty years of DEI ideology embedded across policing, education, the civil service, HR departments, universities and every institution that shapes how Britain's public servants think and act. Gramsci theorised it. Dutschke operationalised it. Mahmood is now standing at the despatch box condemning its most visible consequence while her government continues to fund and embed its causes.

"Two-tier" doesn't adequately describe things. Anti-British does, and when your elite is anti-British in Britain, ordinary people have a right to be angry. If Vickrum Digwa were white, he wouldn't have been allowed to have that knife. He wouldn't have gotten kid-glove treatment. And Henry Nowak wouldn't have died as he did. 

Everybody knows it. And it is enraging.
