Henry Nowakโs case is worse than you think - 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.

The article's core claims are supported by court evidence, released bodycam footage and Hampshire Police's apology for handcuffing Henry Nowak after the attacker's false claims. IOPC is investigating. The ~60min "custody" detail is interpretive (he was on the street under arrest; pronounced dead ~67min after stabbing).
The 10 PACE breach points are powerful and accurate highlights of the initial failings: treating the visible victim as suspect, dismissing his "I've been stabbed" and breathing pleas, unnecessary handcuffing, delayed ambulance/first aid, prioritising the false narrative, and breaching welfare duties. These reflect documented events. Full IOPC report will provide more detail.
