Today, the Prime minister says he “felt sick” as he watched the body cam footage of a student who was handcuffed as he lay dying. The 18-year-old Southampton student Henry Nowak was handcuffed after Vickrum Digwa, 23, lied to police at the scene of the 2025 stabbing, claiming he had been the victim of a racist attack. Shabana Mahmood described the murder as an "an act of pure evil” and described bodycam footage of officers handcuffing Nowak as "disturbing and tragic". Adam and Joe are joined by BBC News’ special correspondent Lucy Manning to go through the details of this case. And, Peter Murrell, the estranged husband of Nicola Sturgeon, had the details of his embezzlement laid out in court. Murrell pleaded guilty to embezzling more than £400,000 from the party over a 12-year period to buy a string of goods including soaps, a motorhome and… mug warmers? Adam and James discuss.

  • Hello.

  • Just a warning that the first half of today's episode of Newscast includes a conversation

  • about the death of Henry Nowak and that body cam footage from the police which shows his last moments.

  • Moments which included police officers handcuffing him, placing him under arrest and reading him his rights.

  • A piece of video that's quite harrowing to listen to.

  • So just a warning that we will play some of it.

  • But we'll mainly be talking about the political reaction to the dramatic video.

  • And that's coming your way on this episode of Newscast.

  • Hello, it's Adam in the Newscast Studio.

  • And just a reminder, the first conversation we're going to have in today's

  • episode may include some details that you find distressing.

  • So please bear that in mind.

  • And the story we're going to talk about is the death of Henry Nowak.

  • He was an 18-year-old student who was stabbed to death after a night out in Southampton by a man called Vikram Digwa,

  • who was sentenced to a life sentence yesterday at Southampton Crown Court, serving a minimum of 21 years behind bars.

  • And it's not just the details of the sentence or the court case that has gripped people today.

  • It is some footage released by Hampshire police from a police officer's body-worn camera

  • that shows how the police responded in the moment when they attended the 999 call,

  • where Vikram Digwa is lying and saying that he has been the victim of a racial attack by Henry Nowak.
