An inquest into the death of Henry Nowak, a first-year student at the University of Southampton, is set to examine both the circumstances of his stabbing and the actions of officers in the period before he dies. According to reporting, Nowak is fatally stabbed by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, who tells police that he has been racially abused. The inquest is also expected to consider whether officers’ conduct plays any role in or contributes to Nowak’s death, including the fact that he is handcuffed while he is described as lying dying. The purpose of the hearing is to establish the facts around how events unfold from the initial report made by Digwa through to the response by police. The proceedings focus on the sequence of events and responsibility, including the treatment of Nowak by officers in the immediate aftermath of the stabbing. The outlets’ accounts emphasize that the inquest will investigate whether officers caused or contributed to his death in addition to the homicide itself.
