Tim Sigsworth News Reporter |
Henry Nowak checked his hair and adjusted the collar of his quarter-zip jumper.
It was 8.30pm and the student was looking in the mirror of a lift as he was leaving his accommodation at the University of Southampton for a night out with his football teammates.

Just three hours later, he lay dying on the ground in handcuffs, accused of racism by a man who had stabbed him five times after they met in the street. We have reconstructed the 18-year-old’s final hours.
8.30pm
Nowak’s night out began when he left his halls of residence. Dressed smartly in shirt and tie, he and his teammates visited an off-licence, a pub and a nightclub as they marked the end of their first term at university.
11.17pm
Shortly after 11pm, both Vickrum Digwa and Nowak were making their way home. They met by chance on Belmont Road, where Digwa had parked his car before launching the attack.
When Digwa’s brother, Gurpreet, called 999, the siblings claimed Nowak had racially abused Digwa and had carried out an unprovoked assault. This was a lie. Their parents, who lived nearby, arrived at the scene before the police and Digwa gave the murder weapon to his mother for disposal.
11.37pm
It was more than 15 minutes before police arrived. Once there, they handcuffed Nowak, who, in an eerie echo of George Floyd’s death, cried out: “I can’t breathe.”

By the time the officers realised he was telling the truth, Nowak had stopped responding. He was pronounced dead at 12.37am. Digwa was finally arrested, but unlike his victim, he was never handcuffed.
Nowak’s treatment at the hands of those who were meant to help him reads like fiction. Astonishingly, it is fact.

Donald Trump exploded in a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday |
On Monday, Donald Trump exploded in a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu, telling the Israeli prime minister: “Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel.” These words have resonated with Paul Nuki, our Global Health Security Editor, who laid irrigation pipes on an Israeli kibbutz as a teenager. I have relatives in the country’s ultra-orthodox Haredi community and have visited many times as a reporter to cover the conflict there, he writes. Trump’s words contain more than a hint of truth. Words that I have sometimes felt like shouting, and yet they are also chilling. Words that the Jewish state ignores at its peril.

“I buy tinned tomatoes in big slabs, around 24 tins at a time, and a dozen 500ml bottles of balsamic vinegar,” explains one middle-class “micro-prepper”. Also on her stockpile list: 48 tins of stuffed vine leaves, 60 to 80 toilet rolls, 24 two-litre bottles of sparkling water and 24 cartons of UHT milk. Why?

Tomorrow, England will take on New Zealand in the first Lord’s Test of the summer, writes Michael Vaughan. In that match, Lord’s will become the first cricket ground to host 150 Tests. Scyld Berry has written a brilliant piece in which he picks the ground’s finest moments.
This summer also marks 20 years since Test cricket went behind a paywall in England, and with Test Match Special in danger of losing its exclusive coverage of home summer internationals, the game’s broadcasting rights remain a divisive issue, as Will Macpherson explores here.
I will share my thoughts at the start and end of every England Test in my newsletter Cricket with Michael Vaughan, as well as the best articles to dig into. Sign up here to receive the first edition tomorrow ➤ |

Experts say there are subtle signs of ADHD that are often overlooked |
Despite growing awareness of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), charities estimate that only one in nine people with the condition in Britain has received a formal diagnosis. Dr James Kustow, a consultant psychiatrist and author of How to Thrive with Adult ADHD, believes there needs to be more awareness of “amber lights”, subtle signs of ADHD that are often unexpected and overlooked. Here, he reveals six ways ADHD can appear in everyday life – from causing relationship problems to sleeping difficulties – and why it happens.

The great scone debateEvery weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal reader correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
Summer in England. A time for meandering walks through the teeming countryside, serenaded by the cuckoo call. A time for whiling away your Saturday afternoon in a bright pub garden, and, of course, a time for arguing about which should go on a scone first: jam or cream.
Actually, it wasn’t the changing of the seasons that unleashed this debate among Telegraph readers. Rather, it was the revelation, courtesy of the Prince of Wales, that Elizabeth II favoured the latter. This is known as the Devon method and, having grown up in Cornwall, I must respectfully state that it is wrong.
Many of the responses, however, have come from avowed Devonians. Andrew Forbes argued: “Definitely cream first – a properly craggy crown of clotted glory, then a generous blob of jam.”
Christine Boon added: “I agree that it should be cream first. I think of the cream as a substitute for butter; you can then make an indentation in the centre and add the jam. To me this is just logical, but then I don’t come from Cornwall or Devon.”
It fell to Christine Freeman to make the Cornish case: “If the scones are warm, it makes sense to put jam on first.” What self-respecting country would serve scones cold?
Helen Townshend described a different – some might say maverick – approach: “Butter, jam, then cream. You can’t spread jam on cream. Well, some people can, but I can’t.”
Another reader, meanwhile, proposed a canny compromise: “Cut the scone in half. Put cream on one bit and jam on the other. Reassemble as a sandwich, and guests can turn it over depending whether they’re Cornish or Devonian. The wisdom of Solomon (probably).” Well then: which side are you on? Send your responses here and the best of the bunch will feature in a future edition of this newsletter.
