Lammy: I told Vance, Nowak case 'nothing to do with mass migration'
Lammy said the vice president’s social media comments ignored the facts, as police and prosecutors continue separate reviews of the killing and response.
- On Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy told Vance he was "wrong" to link Henry Nowak's murder to immigration, emphasizing that the perpetrator, Vickrum Digwa, was British-born.
- Vance claimed on Friday that Nowak died because European elites failed to stop "the mass invasion of migrants," following State Department comments on "two-tier policing" which Downing Street rejected.
- Vickrum Digwa received a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years for stabbing 18-year-old Henry Nowak with a 21cm ceremonial Sikh knife, while police ignored the student's pleas.
- Citing the Nowak family's desire for calm, Lammy urged Vance that his social media interventions were "not helpful," as The Independent Office investigates Hampshire Police and Attorney General Lord Hermer reviews sentencing.
- The case evoked memories of George Floyd and Stephen Lawrence, the Deputy Prime Minister told the BBC, warning about online toxicity as the family faces "full light" of global attention.
