Southampton murder: Digwa sentenced to 21-year minimum life term

Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years for murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton. Prosecutors had urged a 25-year starting point due to aggravated factors and Digwa’s filming of the aftermath, but the judge set a 21-year minimum. The case centered on a fatal knife attack in which Digwa carried a Sikh blade, with family statements read in court and the judge praising the Nowak family’s courage.
