PM condemns attacks on cops in Nowak case

ATTACKS by protesters on police near where teenager Henry Nowak was stabbed to death were “disgraceful” Sir Keir Starmer has said after eleven officers and a police dog were injured.

The unrest came amid an outcry about the policing response to the murder after the student’s killer claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack while Mr Nowak was handcuffed by police as he lay dying.

Opening Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir told the Commons there was “no justification for more violence and disorder”.

He also condemned Nigel Farage’s call for “rage” in response to Mr Nowak’s death, labelling his actions as “unforgivable”.

“Henry Nowak’s family have shown extraordinary dignity after their son’s life was stolen in appalling circumstances,” he said.

“He was clearly a kind and thoughtful and much-loved young man.”
