The Observer.

Hello, it's Ada here and you're listening to the Slow Newscast Extra, where every Thursday we talk about a story that the newsroom just can't stop thinking about.

And this week, it's the tragic tale and aftermath of the murder of Henry Novak.

In December of last year, Henry Novak, an 18-year-old student at the University of Southampton,

was walking home after a trip to the pub with his football team.

On the way, he had an altercation with a man named Vikram Digwar,

who would end up stabbing Henry five times.

The police were called by Digwar's brother,

who falsely claimed that Vikram Digwar had just been attacked racially by Henry.

When officers arrived, they restrained Henry Novak and handcuffed him.

In the video that emerged this week, you can hear him, calling out, pleading, telling the officers

multiple times that he's been stabbed. Nine times, he told them, I can't breathe. Bikram Digua initially pleaded self-defense, but on Monday he was sentenced to life in prison

for murder, with a minimum term of 21 years.

But that was not the end of it.

Later that same day, the body cam footage of Henry's apprehension was released.

And then on Tuesday, after online anger was stoked

by far-right groups and American billionaire Elon Musk, protests erupted in Southampton.

Eleven police officers were injured in the unrest. Here to discuss the case and its fallout,

I'm joined by the Observer's Whitehall editor, Kat Neelan.

Hello.
