The 18-year-old student died after being ignored by police when he reported being stabbed, and was subsequently arrested and handcuffed after his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely claimed Nowak had attacked him. Kemi Badenoch stated that Nowak's family wishes for his memory to unite society and prevent anger from causing division, promising to work towards a positive legacy from the tragedy. Political figures have condemned responses to the murder, with Sir Keir Starmer criticising Nigel Farage for calling for "pure, cold rage," and the Prime Minister accusing Elon Musk of attempting to "whip up division" in the UK. Elon Musk has shared multiple posts about the case, including content from a far-right activist claiming Nowak was murdered due to "racist police policies," and supported calls for the killer's execution.
