IOPC acting after complaint from family of student, whom officers initially handcuffed and treated as a suspect
Two police officers in the case of Henry Nowak have been placed under investigation for gross misconduct by the police watchdog.
Nowak, 18, died in December 2025 after being stabbed by Vickrum Digwa in Southampton. Digwa falsely told police he had been the victim of a racist attack, which led officers to handcuff Nowak and treat him as a suspect, despite him saying he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe.
