The family of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old who died after being stabbed, are demanding answers, accountability and the assurance that lessons will be learned. Above all, they are seeking justice for Henry.
Family's Anguish
The anguish of Henry Nowak's family is almost too painful to comprehend. A mother recalls the knock on the door that brought news of her son's murder. A father collapsed in grief. A sister clings to her brother's clothes as they still carry his scent.
These are the heartbreaking memories of a family whose lives were destroyed by an act of senseless violence. Their suffering was deepened by his appalling treatment in his final moments.
Final Moments
As he lay bleeding, desperately pleading for help, police handcuffed him. His cries that he had been stabbed were dismissed. Eight agonising minutes passed and Henry never came home.
His family deserve answers, accountability and the assurance that lessons will be learned. No family should ever have to endure such suffering.
