UK Prime Minister to Meet Family of Murdered Student
The prime minister will meet the family of an 18-year-old student stabbed in Southampton. The meeting follows protests over police handling of the case and public statements by a social media platform owner.
The IndependentUK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will meet the family of murdered student Henry Nowak in Downing Street on Thursday afternoon, No 10 said. The 18-year-old was fatally stabbed in Southampton last year. His killer, Vickrum Digwa, claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack, while Nowak was handcuffed by police who ignored his pleas that he could not breathe as he lay dying.
Violent protests erupted earlier this week near the location of the stabbing amid an outcry over his treatment by police.
” He accused Elon Musk of trying to “whip up division” in the UK over the murder. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also met Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother on Thursday morning. She said the family agreed that “we need to bring common sense back” to how equality is treated under the law.
Musk has posted numerous times on his platform about the police response and offered to fund a private prosecution of Hampshire Constabulary.
