Hampshire and Isle of Wight Chief Constable Alexis Boon has apologized for the arrest of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was handcuffed as he lay dying after being fatally stabbed. The case has drawn widespread attention in the UK following the sentencing of his attacker, Vickrum Digwa, who was given life in prison after falsely claiming Nowak had racially abused and assaulted him during a street altercation. Bodycam footage shows Nowak telling officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe while being restrained, prompting public criticism and a political debate over police conduct. Boon said the force was sorry for the incident and confirmed that officers involved are being treated as witnesses by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, with some reassigned from frontline duties.
