18-year-old student stabbed to death while celebrating end of first semester of college in England
An 18-year-old student was stabbed to death while out celebrating the end of the first semester of college in England, according to authorities.
Henry Nowak was walking along a road in Portswood — about 75 miles southwest of London, along the southern coast of England — when he became involved in an altercation with two men he did not know, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary announced Sunday.
When officers arrived, Nowak had a puncture wound to his chest and two to the back of his leg. He was pronounced dead at the scene, cops said.
His family revealed in a statement shared by authorities that Nowak was a freshman accounting and finance major at Southampton College and had been out celebrating the end of his first semester when he was slain.
“Our kind, intelligent, and talented son was in his first year at Southampton University studying Accountancy and Finance. He’d smashed his A-levels and was fully embracing university life, joining not one but two football teams, making new friends as well as working part-time at the local Morrisons,” a supermarket chain, his family said in a statement.
