An independent investigation into why Henry Nowak was handcuffed by police as he was dying is ongoing.
Murder victim told police 'I can't breathe' while handcuffed
Student Henry Nowak repeatedly told police officers "I can't breathe" as he lay dying in handcuffs after being stabbed, bodycam footage shows.
The 18-year-old Southampton student was handcuffed after killer Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied to police at the scene of the 2025 stabbing, claiming he had been the victim of a racist attack.
Footage released by the force, with permission from Nowak's family, shows him pleading "I've been stabbed" and an officer replying "I don't think you have mate".
Officers then turn to Nowak, who can be heard repeating "I've been stabbed" and then "I can't breathe" while he is made to sit up to be handcuffed.
