Nigel Farage has led outrage at footage of police handcuffing a stabbing victim and ignoring his pleas for help - as his Sikh killer branded him a racist.The Reform leader insisted 'white lives matter too' amid fury at the last moments of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. The innocent teenager repeatedly said 'I can't breathe' and begged for an ambulance after being knifed six times by stranger Vickrum Digwa, 23. But officers instead arrested and handcuffed him as he lay dying on the ground.Digwa used an eight-inch ceremonial dagger to carry out the murder in Southampton city centre last December. The injured student was then arrested as he lay dying on the ground, drowning in his own blood. The killer - who was sentenced to at least 21 years in prison yesterday - did not know Mr Nowak but told a 'wicked lie' to officers that he had been subjected to racist abuse, punched, and had his turban knocked off. Police body cam footage shows innocent victim Henry Nowak, 18, being forced into handcuffs by officers after he was stabbed repeatedly by a knife-obsessed Sikh man Murderer Vickrum Digwa is seen lying to police as he tells them the teenager ripped off his turban in a racist attack Henry was a finance student at the University of Southampton and was described as 'kind and talented' by his family Nigel Farage insisted 'white lives matter too' amid fury at the teenager's last moments Keir Starmer reacted to the case last night, saying it is 'right' the police actions will be investigatedHampshire Police was last week forced to apologise to Mr Nowak's family for arresting the fatally injured teenager.Deputy Chief Constable Robert France told the Daily Mail: 'I'm sorry that he was handcuffed and arrested.'The Independent Office for Police Conduct is looking into how the officers acted.The case has caused international outrage, with tech billionaire Elon Musk offering to fund a private prosecution against the police. There have also been questions about whether anti-racism training may have influenced officers' judgment.Mr Farage said the public should respond with 'pure cold rage' because Mr Nowak was 'actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder'.He said he had asked the Attorney General to review the life sentence with a minimum of 21 years given to Digwa for being unduly lenient.Public comment on the case was previously limited to avoid prejudicing the trial, and police released the footage after the sentencing. In a video statement, Mr Farage said: 'Henry's family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way.'But I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure cold rage.'This is wrong. All the values and standards of living in a free country where everybody is judged equally before the law have been trashed and thrown away.'The Reform UK leader said: 'What does he say? I can't breathe.'Familiar words. Remember career criminal George Floyd, who died in appalling circumstances in Midwest America a few years ago.'Remember the reaction to that and the way the police behaved? Within a few days Keir Starmer was taking the knee. Black Lives Matter exploded all over the country. Churchill's statue was defaced, the cenotaph was vandalised.'Mr Farage added: 'The most important thing that needs to change, that has to change, if our society is not to be ripped apart, where communities start to distrust each other and deeply distrust the police and all the other institutions of this country, is we need a change in culture.'Enough of anti-white prejudice, a promotion of the idea that white lives matter just as much as black lives.'An end to DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and positive discrimination, but a country that treats everybody equally and fairly before the law.'This is serious. This is urgent. I fear for where our society will be in a few short years if we don't grip this and do it very, very quickly.'Keir Starmer reacted to the case last night, saying: 'This is an awful, shocking case. Henry's loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer making up appalling claims about their son who was thoughtful, kind and deeply loved. 'It is right that the IOPC is investigating the police's response to his senseless murder. And we must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime. Henry's family, friends, his university and the city of Southampton will continue to feel his loss, and our thoughts will always be with them.' The newly-released footage shows the teenager saying four times, 'I've been stabbed', to which one policeman replies, 'I don't think you have mate'. Officers pull Mr Nowak along the ground as he continues to beg for help, telling them he cannot breathe at least seven times before he is ordered to place his hands in the cuffs. The student died from drowning in his own blood shortly after his wrongful arrest, Southampton Crown Court heard. The footage also shows Digwa telling police that his victim had not been stabbed. A female officer replies: 'I know, but we have to check don't we.'Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds suggested the Government will not look again at the exemption allowing Sikhs to carry knives.He told the BBC: 'There is an exception in terms of carrying bladed articles in public places for particular religious and ceremonial reasons. An image issued by the Crown Prosecution Service shows the eight-inch ceremonial dagger used by Digwa'And whilst, of course, we've been tightening up the law, we've banned things like terrible zombie knives, we've tightened up the law in terms of online purchasing of knives.'It's not about looking, I think, more broadly at that particular exception.'Indeed, if you look at what the judge said in this case, the judge actually said that the minute that this perpetrator removed the blade from the sheath, you can forget any sense of there being some sort of exception to the law.'And he also said the fact that this perpetrator was willing to use a bladed article was an abuse of the privilege that Sikhs and indeed other religions have. It was something that made this case worse because of that abuse of that privilege.'Mr Thomas-Symonds has said the conduct of police officers at the scene was 'shocking'.He told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'The footage, the body-cam footage, is every parent's nightmare.'It is harrowing, and it is absolutely shocking, and the conduct of the police, when you look at it at the scene, is shocking.'I'm sure your thoughts, my thoughts, the thoughts of all your listeners this morning are with Henry's family and Henry's friends, not only being the victim of a heinous crime, but also the lies of the perpetrator, the lies at the scene, the false accusations of racism,' he added.'But remember, as well, this perpetrator lied and lied and lied, and put Henry's family through a whole contested trial.'He added: 'It must be for the Independent Office for Police Conduct, without fear or favour, to ask all the questions that are necessary to get to the truth of what happened here.'
