Hampshire police were planning to smear Henry Nowak as an “aggressive racist” three days after he was murdered.
According to the UK’s Sunday Times, police planned to issue a slightly deconstructed version of events allegedly designed to save face by defaming the 18-year-old.
The Times, which broke the exclusive, said the drafted “intervention was a highly unusual move.”
“Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary sought to release a public statement to address what it described as online ‘disinformation’.
“However,” The Times added, “the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) advised the force that such a step could risk jeopardising the ‘integrity’ of the case.”
They pulled the claims after strong protests from Nowak’s family.
Police Integrity in Tatters
This new information, The Times said, was “likely to put further pressure on the beleaguered force and its chief constable, Alexis Boon, because the conduct of its own officers was under scrutiny during the trial.”
Police planned to run with the “he’s a rabid racist” falsehood, knowing full well there was “ample evidence” proving that Nowak’s Sikh killer, Vickrum Digwa, and his family were lying about being racially abused.
The apparent woke plan to misdirect attention away from police, and the Sikh community, would have succeeded had the Nowak family not noticed the lie being spun about their son.
They only picked the falsehood up because it was included in correspondence with law enforcement, The Times explained.
“The Nowak family, raw with grief, became concerned that a false narrative was being pushed about Henry.”
“It is understood,” The Times reported, “that police told the family the next update they planned to publish.”
This, The Sunday Times recalled, “would include the Nowaks’ tribute, [and] again imply that he was the initial aggressor.”
Kemi Badenoch Calls Out CRT
Tory opposition leader, Kemi Badenoch, blamed CRT, calling Diversity, Equity and Inclusion an “ill-advised framework” for policing.
Badenoch, writing for The Times, implied that the “all white people are racist” training was “wrong-headed, and possibly illegal.”
“The problem is not institutional racism towards blacks or whites,” she said, “but institutional incompetence.”
“The Black Lives Matter movement made institutions more frightened, more racialised and more divided.”
Decrying identity politics, and a White Lives Matter backlash “born of the same racial grievance,” Badenoch asserted, “We will not defeat identity politics by building a mirror-image version of it.”
The Tory leader has demanded the Starmer government launch an immediate independent inquiry, a move the Nowak family is said to support.
Adding to her Sunday Times comments, Badenoch said on X,
“We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good.”
“We also need to examine where the law needs to change.”
Badenoch followed this with a commitment to bringing common sense and equality under the law back to policing.
The December murder launched onto the global stage last week after camera footage of Henry Nowak’s killing and arrest was published online.
That footage was released with the permission of Nowak’s grieving family, following Digwa’s sentencing on June 1.
The Nowak Murder
In case you missed it, Nowak was stabbed five times after a smart remark from Nowak about the Sikh’s large knife turned into an altercation over Nowak’s phone.
Losing his turban in the struggle, Vickrum Digwa stabbed Nowak repeatedly.
To cover up the crime, Digwa’s family called the police claiming that a white man had racially abused them. They then tried to hide the murder weapon.
An ambulance was never properly called. Emergency operators prioritised the Digwa’s false claims about racism.
When Hampshire police arrived, they arrested Nowak, not Digwa.
Nowak repeatedly told police he had been stabbed. Police mocked and dismissed Nowak’s cry for help, saying, “I don’t think you have, mate.”
Officers put him in cuffs, only to realise three minutes later that he was telling the truth.
He died 67 minutes later after bleeding to death in the hands of a DEI-trained, Marxian woke police force.
Notably, Digwa was never handcuffed.
Reports state that Digwa was treated with more dignity than his victim before, during and after the arrest because of Digwa’s ethnicity and shade of melanin.

Police Ditched Plan to Defame Stabbing Victim Henry Nowak as “Racist Aggressor”

Police Integrity in Tatters
This new information, The Times said, was “likely to put further pressure on the beleaguered force and its chief constable, Alexis Boon, because the conduct of its own officers was under scrutiny during the trial.”
Bring on the reckoning!
The apparent cover-up adds to the criminal Critical Race Theory’s (CRT) — only white people can be racists — “implicit bias” training, which contributed to Henry’s false arrest, and subsequent death.
Police planned to run with the “he’s a rabid racist” falsehood, knowing full well there was “ample evidence” proving that Nowak’s Sikh killer, Vickrum Digwa, and his family were lying about being racially abused.
The apparent woke plan to misdirect attention away from police, and the Sikh community, would have succeeded had the Nowak family not noticed the lie being spun about their son.

In sum, Critical Race Theory killed Henry Nowak.
