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.
Henry — forever 18. 🤍

@MaryCreagh_ Labour MPs who took the knee for an American criminal and BLM and never called out the rioters
Are suddenly caring about using someones death being politicised
Because the death was a white boy
@leftsidehist As you would be trying to justify a fucking riot because of an American
Over a riot because of a white lad
You're hypocritical cunts because you don't care when it happens to white people
Fucking moron
@I_amMukhtar Because the police have been targeting whites
The very fucking thing you all went mad about when they were targeting blacks
You fucking hypocritical cunt
@leftsidehist Yet you used him to justify the riots by coming up with an excuse
When it's now been shown that Police have been told to respond differently depending on a person's skin colour
You're hate filled daily spreading of absolute crap, like you get to decide what people can be mad at
@leftsidehist Yes you did....you sat there and justified it and make it political
Then smashed things up and attacked people who had NOTHING to do with fucking Slavery
Like Starmer did by kneeling for it
You absolute fucking hypocrite
@KevinASchofield Muslims chopped off a teachers head because he spoke about their prophet
Nothing
White boy stabbed by a Sikh
Everyone who talks about it is racist
You cunt
