On 3 December 2025, Henry Nowak, an 18‑year‑old university student, was murdered in Southampton, Hampshire, England, by 23‑year‑old Vickrum Singh Digwa. Police bodycam footage showing officers arresting Nowak as he lay dying from stab wounds sparked public outrage, parliamentary debate, and wider discussion about policing and knife laws. Nowak had been walking home when he encountered Digwa, who stabbed him five times with a 21 cm (8.3 in) dagger he claimed was carried for Sikh religious reasons.
