Huge numbers of protesters gathered outside a Southampton police station on Tuesday night led by Tommy Robinson in order to demand justice for Henry Nowak.
Nowak, an 18-year-old white British teenager, was killed last December by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely claimed he had been racially abused before the attack.
He may have survived had officers not handcuffed him while he lay bleeding from stab wounds inflicted with by Digwa’s Sikh ceremonial sword.
Police bodycam footage showed that when Nowak told an officer he had been stabbed, the officer replied: “Don’t think you have mate.”
Digwa, 23, was jailed for life on Monday after being convicted of murdering Nowak as the teenager walked back to his student accommodation in the city of Southampton.
The “Justice for Henry Nowak” demonstration began outside Southampton Central Police Station.
Crowds waved Union flags and held signs reading “Henry’s blood is on your hands,” “Save our kids,” and “Prison 4 police on scene.”
