Henry Nowak, 18, was stabbed five times on a street in Southampton, England, last December.
His attacker, Vickrum Digwa, told arriving officers that he was the victim of a racist attack. Body camera footage shows Henry repeatedly telling officers he couldn't breathe and that had been stabbed. One officer can be heard replying, "Don't think you have, mate," as he handcuffed him. Henry died at the scene.
Last week, Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The court found his racism claim to be fabricated. Three of the four officers present remain in their roles, with a police watchdog investigating their conduct.
Intense local protests have since erupted, and over 215,000 people have signed a petition demanding the officers involved be charged and for the investigation to be made public.
