Three more people have been charged with violent disorder after protests in Southampton this week over the murder of Henry Nowak.<\/p>\n
Connor Bishop, 24, of Southampton; Reece Robinson, 21, of Havant; and Noah Etherington, 18, of Havant, were to appear at Southampton magistrates court on Friday morning, Hampshire police said.<\/p>\n
Protests were held after the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, 23, to life imprisonment with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of Nowak, 18, in December.<\/p>\n
Anger erupted after police body-worn footage was released showing Nowak being placed in handcuffs moments before he lost consciousness and later died from stab wounds.<\/p>\n
The treatment of the student from Essex triggered a political row, with the prime minister urging politicians to heed the teenager\u2019s relatives\u2019 calls not to use his death \u201cto cause disturbances\u201d.<\/p>\n
Violent protests flared near where the student was fatally stabbed. Digwa had told police he had been the victim of a racial attack, and Nowak was handcuffed by police who ignored his pleas that he could not breathe.<\/p>\n
Starmer met Nowak\u2019s family on Thursday, saying he was \u201cprofoundly humbled\u201d to have had a private conversation with them in Downing Street.<\/p>\n
He urged the nation to choose unity over hatred, adding that Nowak \u201cdeserves a legacy that goes beyond this awful tragedy\u201d.<\/p>\n
Starmer said Nigel Farage\u2019s response \u2013 that Nowak\u2019s murder should be met with \u201crage\u201d \u2013 was unforgivable. The Reform UK leader was accused by other politicians of stoking racial tensions.<\/p>\n
Farage rejected the criticism, insisting he condemned \u201call violence\u201d and had agreed to meet Nowak\u2019s family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three more people have been charged with violent disorder after protests in Southampton this week over the murder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622514,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-622513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
