Men jailed for violence at Henry Nowak police protest

Two men have been jailed for their roles in a violent protest in Southampton held following the murder of Henry Nowak.

Connor Bishop, 24, was sentenced to two years and eight months and Leon O'Leary, 41, was jailed for three years and one month. Both pleaded guilty to violent disorder at a previous hearing.

They are the first people to be sentenced after violence last Tuesday night saw 11 police officers and a police dog injured as missiles including wheelie bins and chairs were thrown.

The protest happened after police bodycam footage was released showing Nowak, 18, handcuffed as he lay dying after being stabbed by Vickrum Digwa, 23, who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years.

Nineteen other people have previously been charged in connection with the disorder.
