Hampshire’s police and crime commissioner Donna Jones has released a statement saying Henry Nowak’s death was a “national tragedy”<\/p>\n
The Conservative politician says it is clear Henry’s death was “harrowing”. <\/p>\n
\u201cHenry was falsely accused of racially aggravated assault as he lay dying on the ground, while his attacker stood by denying the violent act he had inflicted upon him,” she says. <\/p>\n
“The incident that led to Henry being arrested and handcuffed was part of Digwa\u2019s cruel intentions to frame himself as the victim. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is devastating the officers did not believe Henry when he said he\u2019d been stabbed and couldn\u2019t breathe.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen officers realised he was gravely wounded, they uncuffed him and started CPR. <\/p>\n
\u201cHis death is a national tragedy. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe details of the police response raises serious concerns about police impartiality, fairness and judgement.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Henry’s death a ‘national tragedy’, police commissioner sayspublished at 17:14 BST 17:14 BST Hampshire’s police and crime commissioner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-477747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
