The murder of Henry Nowak is a ‘seminal moment’ in the fight against racism, Kemi Badenoch says.
The Tory leader compared the stabbing of the 18-year-old university student to the murder of Stephen Lawrence 33 years ago.
Writing for this newspaper, Mrs Badenoch says, just like Stephen’s shocking killing in 1993, Henry’s death at the hands of an assailant who lied about claims of racism needs to be a turning point.
She spoke amid fury over horrifying footage of Henry being handcuffed by officers as he lay dying, telling them he had been stabbed and uttering his last words: ‘I can’t breathe.’
