The claim is well-supported by multiple independent sources. Following the sentencing of Henry Nowak's killer Vickrum Digwa on 1 June 2026, Henry's father Mark Nowak delivered a family statement outside Southampton Crown Court. Multiple BBC News articles and other outlets directly quote the family saying: "We want to use Henry's heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We want his story to make our streets safer for everyone." This directly confirms the claim that the family did not want Henry's death to be used to create further tension. The speech by Darren Paffey was delivered on 3 June 2026, less than 48 hours after the sentencing and family statement, which aligns with the timing described in the speech.
