Christi Hill, who served as a police constable for 12 years, has had her name and photograph circulated on social media, alongside accusations of her being a ‘murderer’.

The under-fire former officer has now accused Hampshire Constabulary of a ‘clear lack of support’ to ‘rectify’ the situation as she hunkers down in a safe space, scared for her safety.

Mr Nowak, 18, was handcuffed by police and wrongly accused of being a racist as he lay dying on the floor after being stabbed by Vickrum Digwa, 23, in December last year.

The victim had told police he had been stabbed and could not breathe but was not believed by the officers who detained him.

Meanwhile Digwa, who was jailed for murder for 21 years on Monday, was not even handcuffed when he was taken into custody.

Anger has reached boiling point over the horrific incident with false claims made online over who were the arresting officers.

Anti-police protesters took to the streets of Southampton yesterday, to show their fury at the way the police treated Mr Nowak amid claims of two-tier policing.

Hampshire Constabulary has said that they will not be naming the officers involved.

The claims online have included the wrongful incrimination of Ms Hill and another officer.

This comes after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood yesterday said a male police officer had been misidentified as one of those involved and that he had to move out of his home.

The damaging allegations have now also been published on AI platform Grok.

Ms Hill served as an officer in Portsmouth for 12 years before leaving the force in April 2024 – 20 months before the murder took place.

She has now released a statement, which reads: ‘I am writing this post with a heavy heart, both out of deep sadness for a tragic event and out of a necessity to protect my reputation, safety and peace of mind.

‘Today, my name and image have been widely circulated on social media, and now by AI platforms such as Grok, falsely identifying me as one of the arresting officers in the Henry Nowak case.

‘To be absolutely clear, I was not involved in this incident. In fact, I left Hampshire Constabulary in April 2024.
