” The student was killed in a stabbing incident that has prompted protests across the United Kingdom. Police body camera footage showed responding officers initially siding with the suspect after the suspect accused the victim of racism while the victim was bleeding from multiple stab wounds.
The footage has circulated widely and contributed to public demonstrations this week.
” The post described the killing as both tragic and enraging. A spokesperson for U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the family had asked that the death not be used to create further division. The spokesperson added that recent statements by outside figures sought to interfere in British democracy and stir unrest.
Starmer previously criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk for similar comments on the case. A spokesperson for the prime minister’s office rejected outside commentary without naming the Vice President directly.
