EXCERPT:
The continuing drip release of court documents relating to the murder of Henry Nowak has revealed that some of the British teen’s final words to his killer were “I’m not racist”.
Vickrum Digwa, 23, was convicted of murdering student Henry Nowak in May with a ceremonial Sikh knife in Southampton in December of last year. When police reached the scene, Digwa falsely told officers that he had been racially abused by Nowak, prompting officers to arrest and handcuff the dying teen as he was bleeding out on the ground, ignoring his pleas that he had been stabbed and could not breathe.
According to court transcripts obtained by the Sunday Times, a nearby resident told the court that he had heard multiple men “arguing loudly” outside his window, and that one of the men, later identified as Nowak, had said “I’m not racist”, as he lay dying on the ground.
Prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg KC told the jury that as Digwa’s brother, Gurpreet, had phoned police and claimed that Nowak had “verbally attacked my brother racially,” Nowak could be heard in the background of the emergency call pleading: “No, I didn’t”.
