The damning bodycam has now been released, showing how officers refused to believe Nowak had been stabbed, ignoring his complaints that he couldn't breathe.

00:05 An abridged and censored version of the bodycam footage.

01:43 Caller Phil has been 'really angered' by the case, which has changed his mind on 'two-tier policing'.

04:40 Caller Edward comes to the defence of the police who did check up on Henry Nowak.

07:13 Caller Wes points the finger at Digwa's family.

09:01 Caller Carl thinks people will use this case as an 'excuse to increase the racial divide'.

11:50 Caller Shaheed is worried that there were 'no witnesses' to the crime.

16:37 Caller Jarawa is a Sikh and thinks the use of the kirpan in this way is 'unfathomable' to most of his community.

22:56 Caller Aniket says when the word racism is mentioned 'rationality goes out the window'.

24:33 Caller Kieran thinks every phone-in on this topic should begin with the fact that a kirpan has never been used in a killing in the UK since the exemption law was brought in in 1988.

27:44 Caller Michael can't believe what he's heard in the bodycam: Digwa telling police that Nowak hadn't been stabbed.
