A statement from Downing Street<\/a> late Friday said Nowak\u2019s family \u201cdo not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.\u201d<\/p>\n

Violent protests broke out earlier this week as details of Nowak\u2019s death emerged and spurred claims the U.K. has a \u201ctwo-tiered\u201d justice system<\/a> that is biased against white people.<\/p>\n

Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh, who stabbed Nowak with a knife he claimed to be carrying for religious reasons, was sentenced to life in jail on Monday.<\/p>\n
