comments A former police officer falsely accused of being involved in the Henry Nowak murder case is fearing for her safety after facing death threats and moving to a safe house. Christi Hill was targeted online after her name and picture were wrongly identified by social media users and the AI chatbot Grok, accusing her of being a murderer. In fact, after serving as a police constable for 12 years she left the force 20 months before the 18-year-old university student was killed in Southampton last December. The former officer said she was frustrated with Hampshire Constabulary for not quickly quashing the claims and confirming she no longer works for them. Ms Hill, who served as an officer in Portsmouth before leaving the force in April 2024, also criticised Grok, an assistant built by Elon Musk's xAI, for identifying her. Another officer called PC Tristan Parsons was also wrongly accused of involvement. He was not even in Britain at the time of Henry's murder and is now also in hiding. Speaking from an undisclosed location, Ms Hill said: 'My life has been turned upside down. My day-to-day work has been affected. It's not been good at all. 'I'm in complete limbo. I have to be clear, though, this is nothing in comparison to what the Nowak family are going through. It was a tragedy and the family don't need all this extra noise on top of what's happened. It's disgusting. Christi Hill, who served as an officer for Hampshire Police in Portsmouth before leaving the force in April 2024, was targeted online after her name and picture were wrongly identified Ms Hill told BBC News that is 'really frustrated' with Hampshire Constabulary at its response Ms Hill was targeted after her name and picture were wrongly identified by the AI chatbot Grok 'The dad spoke on the steps of the court [about not wanting to create tensions] but instead of listening to him some people have gone the other way.' Ms Hill is angry that the force failed to publicly declare she was not at the murder arrest scene. She added: 'It's infuriating and gutless they won't go on the record and quash the misinformation and do the right thing. It's different for me (compared to other officers) as I'm no longer in the force. 'The damage to my reputation going forward is damning. They were really happy to use my bravery award picture but are now not happy to clear my name. It doesn't sit right with me. 'The force always spoke about 'honesty and transparency' when I was an officer but I do not feel that now. If there is a lesson to be learned it is for the truth to be told. 'They have failed this time but they could just come out and prove the negatives. I'm dumbfounded and exhausted but I will keep pushing.' In the last update Ms Hill received from the force on Wednesday morning, she was told there had been a report into the impact on her life but they could not offer any further help. Ms Hill said: 'I'm still in my relocated place and with there so much going on it's not safe for me to go back. It's too much of a risk. Henry (pictured) was arrested on a Southampton street last December after being attacked Police officers pinned fatally injured Henry to the ground as he gasped 'I've been stabbed' '[Hampshire Police] made me aware on Tuesday mid-morning and said they were treating me as a victim due to what was being said online and with the risk involved they accepted it was enough to relocate me. 'I'm grateful they did that but that is where the support ended.' Ms Hill – who now works in private security - added that the Police Federation had been 'good'. But she also criticised how Grok had been posting the message: 'Public reports and identifications in the Henry Nowak bodycam footage name PC Christi Hill and PC Tristan Parsons as the primary officers shown.' In later posts, Grok clarified that it had 'incorrectly named' her after making a 'mistake in visual identification'. Henry was handcuffed by police as he lay dying at the scene in Southampton on December 3 last year after his murderer Vickrum Digwa lied, claiming he had been racially abused by the teen and had acted in self-defence. The victim had told police he had been stabbed and could not breathe but was not believed by officers who detained him. 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 on Tuesday amid claims of two-tier policing. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed that PC Parsons was also misidentified as one of the officers and that he had to move out of his home. Vickrum Digwa was given a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years in prison for the murder Protestors confront riot police on Tuesday evening near the location where Henry Nowak died Demonstrators attack a police van following a protest march in Southampton on Tuesday Hampshire Constabulary has said it will not be naming the officers involved. A force spokesperson previously said: 'We know there has been significant commentary following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa and we recognise the desire for answers about the police response that night. 'However, what we cannot accept is the significant spread of misinformation online by those intent on causing further fear and division by making threats to officers and sharing names that are simply not true. 'A police officer unrelated to this case has been misidentified online and subject to death threats. 'The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is continuing its independent investigation into our response on the night in question, following our self-referral the next day. 'While that progresses, we ask that people avoid harmful speculation online.' The Daily Mail has also contacted the force for comment on Ms Hill's latest comments. It comes as Sir Keir Starmer accused Mr Musk of trying to 'whip up division' over Henry's murder – after the world's richest man issued a series of posts about the police response. The X owner later responded by sharing a video including an image of Sir Keir and Labour's then deputy leader Angela Rayner 'taking a knee' in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
