Henry Nowak family say police failed them multiple times

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Chief Constable Alexis Boon told ITV in a statement: “Henry’s murder was a devastating tragedy, and our thoughts remain with his family and all those who loved him.

“I am incredibly sorry that in his final moments, when he needed us most, we failed him.

“For Henry’s family, this has been about more than the circumstances of one night.

“They have rightly raised serious concerns about the police response and their treatment throughout the investigation and since. No family should ever find themselves in this position.”

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed its investigation into potential failures in the police response to Mr Nowak’s stabbing is expected to be concluded early next year.

However, the family said they received a letter from the police watchdog in April, saying no officers would face a conduct or criminal investigation.

Digwa, 23, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced an independent inquiry into the murder, led by former lord chancellor Alex Chalk, which will look at “any missed opportunities to intervene”.

Dear Henry: Our Fight For Justice, a Tonight special, airs on Thursday 5 November at 21:00 GMT on ITV, ITVX and the ITV News YouTube channel.
