Officer involved in Henry Nowak murder case resigns

  • One of the officers involved in the Henry Nowak murder case has resigned, police say.
  • Mr Nowak, 18, was handcuffed by police while he lay dying after his attacker, Vickrum Digwa, told officers that he had racially abused him, body-worn camera footage shows.
  • A spokesperson for Hampshire Police told the BBC that an officer had stepped down but three others who were involved were continuing to serve.
  • Sir Keir Starmer said he “felt sick” watching footage and said a full investigation was needed into how “accusations of racism” informed the police’s decision-making in the case.
  • Digwa, 23, was on Monday sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 21 years served for murdering the 18-year-old in Southampton.
