Henry Novak's Father

What's happened to you, all right?

I've been stabbed.

We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.

We want his story to make our streets safer for everyone.

That is why we are calling on the government to treat knife crime as the national emergency that it is.

Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times.

He told them he had been stabbed four times.

The response from one officer was, I don't think you have, mate.

We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred, or tension.

We want his story to make our streets safer for everyone.

Henry had been stabbed multiple times and as his chest filled with blood, he tried to escape.

He was chased, abused and filmed by Vikram Digwa and others.

With his final words, he told officers that he could not breathe.

He told them he had been stabbed.

In fact, Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times.

He told them he had been stabbed four times.

The response from one officer was, I don't think you have, mate.

The police have said they were misled by the murderer and that the scene when they arrived was complex.

Unfortunately, it seems to us the truth is much simpler.

The police were told by our son himself and by a member of the public who called 999 that they heard someone shout that they had been stabbed.
