Henry Nowak was 18 - a kind and hard-working student with his life ahead of him. His murder – at the hands of Vickrum Digwa - was a horrifying and evil act. Digwa murdered Henry and then lied about him, as he lay dying - falsely accusing him of racism. The Nowak family deserve answers about what happened on that night, particularly in the police response. Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) will be equipped with the resources, authority and independence it needs to conduct a full, fearless and transparent investigation. They must find the truth and ensure, if necessary, that there are consequences. It is also clear that we must take action to tackle the daily tragedy of knife crime. Progress has been made, with knife crime now falling, but we must go further. That is why I have recently published this Government's Halving Knife Crime Plan. We must be clear about who is responsible for this crime. The punishment must be reserved for those who are responsible for this evil act. We do not believe in collective punishment in this country. Instead, we stand together against an act of pure evil. We condemn those who committed this heinous crime. Not all those who share their faith or ethnicity. A final note. With further sentencing and possible charges pending, and misinformation already circulating, we must be cautious in what we say about this case so proceedings are not placed at risk. Those responsible must be brought to justice.

Violence and intimidation directed at any community are attacks on us all. We are providing an extra £10 million to strengthen security at places of worship, ensuring Muslim communities are protected. The right to follow your faith - free from hatred and fear - must be defended.

I am horrified by the antisemitic terrorist attack at a synagogue on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The government has stepped up security at synagogues across the whole of the country, and we will do whatever is required to keep our Jewish community safe. To those who seek to divide us: they will fail.

We face a rising tide of antisemitism throughout the UK. Now, up to £10 million in new funding will help protect Jewish communities - but we must go further to fight for a society that is free from hatred and violence. As your Home Secretary, I am committed to this fight.
