A British university student collapsed and died after police initially handcuffed him instead of the man accused of stabbing him, according to reports and court testimony.
Finance student Henry Nowak, 18, was stabbed with an eight-inch ceremonial Sikh &#8220;shastar&#8221; blade in London after an encounter with Vikrum Digwa, 23, who is on trial for murder. Digwa told police that Nowak was a “drunken man” who “racially abused and attacked” him, <a href="https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15818111/Sikh-man-stabbed-18-year-old-university-student-death-eight-inch-ceremonial-knife-claiming-hed-racially-abused-court-hears.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=social-twitter_mailonline">according</a> to the Daily Mail.
Police initially handcuffed Nowak after the December 2023 incident. Shortly after, he collapsed, prompting officers to begin emergency first aid. Despite efforts to save him, including a doctor flown in by helicopter, Nowak succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 12:37 am. 
Digwa is now on trial alongside his mother, who is accused of assisting her son after Nowak’s stabbing. 
Prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg rejected Digwa&#8217;s self-defense claim, telling jurors that “Henry drowned in his own blood&#8221; after the knife pierced his lung. He added that Digwa claimed he could not “recall exactly how the fatal wound came to be inflicted.”
Much of the incident was captured on video by Nowak before he died and is now being used as evidence in court. 
Nowak, who had been completing his first term studying accountancy and finance at Southampton University, had been out with friends before he was attacked. On his way home, he recorded Snapchat videos shortly before crossing paths with Digwa.
In one video shown in court, Digwa can allegedly be heard saying, “I am a bad man.” The footage abruptly cuts off when Nowak responds, “Are you a b….” 
Nowak sustained four stab wounds, including the one that punctured his lung. 
Police said after the fatal stabbing, Digwa’s mother, brother, and father arrived on the scene. Officers placed Digwa and his brother inside a police vehicle, where they said they overheard Digwa admit to the stabbing. 
Luddenberg told jurors that Digwa “told his brother he stabbed Henry three times. He didn’t mention racism or self-defense.” 
Digwa’s defense argued that he carried the knife for religious reasons. The trial is still underway.
