His killer, Sikh man Vickrum Digwa, had falsely accused him of a racist attack.  <\/p>\n<p>The BBC&#8217;s political correspondent Rob Watson tells us that the case has provoked a debate about race and policing in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Nigel Farage, the leader of the right-wing populist Reform Party, has claimed Mr Nowak&#8217;s death was evidence of &quot;anti-white prejudice&quot; and &quot;two-tier policing&quot;, suggesting that the British public react with &quot;pure, cold rage&quot;. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged calm, and accused Mr Farage of exploiting the murder to create &quot;grievance and division&quot;. He has also said the police face &quot;serious questions&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, at least 11 police officers were injured in clashes with protestors near the site of the murder.<\/p>\n<p>Hampshire Police Chief Constable Alexis Boon has said the force is &quot;sorry for handcuffing and arresting Henry&quot;, and that an investigation by the police watchdog will aim to understand the officers&#8217; actions. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
