LBC callers react as bodycam is released in Henry Nowak murder
Student Henry Nowak, 18, was handcuffed and arrested by police after Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed him before lying about being racially abused by the teen.
The damning bodycam has now been released, showing how officers refused to believe Nowak had been stabbed, ignoring his complaints that he couldn't breathe.

04:40 Caller Edward comes to the defence of the police who did check up on Henry Nowak.
07:13 Caller Wes points the finger at Digwa's family.
09:01 Caller Carl thinks people will use this case as an 'excuse to increase the racial divide'.
11:50 Caller Shaheed is worried that there were 'no witnesses' to the crime.
16:37 Caller Jarawa is a Sikh and thinks the use of the kirpan in this way is 'unfathomable' to most of his community.
22:56 Caller Aniket says when the word racism is mentioned 'rationality goes out the window'.
