Debate

Murder of Henry Nowak

Contribution

This was a vile act and a crime of the upmost severity, and I am pleased that it has been treated as such by our courts. The case is about the murder of a young man, and our thoughts should remain with Henry Nowak’s family. We do not know why the officers acted as they did, but there is nothing in the Macpherson inquiry that can be blamed for the apparent lack of humanity displayed in the body-worn camera footage. Does the Home Secretary agree with me that we should reflect on the words of Henry’s father, Mark Nowak, who asked that his son’s death should “not…be used to create further division, hatred or tension.”? Does she agree that this is entirely what the interventions of the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) and others seek to do?
