This British death in custody has led to protests | ABC NEWS

📍18-year-old British student Henry Nowak told UK police multiple times he couldn't breathe and that he'd been stabbed, as he lay dying on the ground, handcuffed.

His killer, Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh man, was sentenced to life in prison on Monday, local time, having lied to police at the time that Mr Nowak had assaulted him.

The recent release of police body cam footage from the night of the killing in December last year has led to protests in Southampton and heated political debate in parliament.
