The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Shabana Mahmood)
On 3 December 2025, Henry Nowak’s life was cut short in a horrific and senseless act of violence. My thoughts remain with his family and friends, and all those whom this dreadful incident has affected.
In response to the wide-ranging issues arising from this case, I have appointed the right hon. Alex Chalk KC to undertake an independent review of the circumstances surrounding Henry’s murder and the Nowak family’s subsequent experience of the criminal justice system.
The Henry Nowak independent review terms of reference are attached and have been published on gov.uk, which can be found here:
