Bodycam footage shows Vickrum Digwa lying to police before his arrest – video

Newly released bodyworn camera footage shows the murderer of Henry Nowak, Vickrum Digwa, lying to police officers about being racially attacked. When police arrived at the murder scene in Southampton, Digwa falsely claimed Nowak had racially abused him and knocked his turban off, causing officers to arrest and handcuff the student before they saw his fatal injuries. In the footage, Digwa tells officers that Nowak obtained his bloody wounds either from a 'punch' or because he ‘fell over’ while climbing on bins. He can be heard lying to police about being racially attacked by Nowak, who he claims was 'obviously drunk'. Digwa was not handcuffed when he was arrested for attempted murder, though Nowak had been handcuffed by the same officers minutes before
