A night meant for celebration turned into a devastating tragedy along England’s southern coast, where 18-year-old college freshman Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed after an unexpected confrontation with strangers.
Police say Henry… an accounting and finance student at Southampton College… was out with friends marking the end of his first semester when he crossed paths with two men he had never met.
The brief encounter escalated into violence, leaving Henry with multiple stab wounds, including a fatal injury to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Henry’s family described him as “a top lad loved by everyone,” remembering him as a bright, hardworking teen and devoted teammate on his local football squad.
