In December 2025, Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh man from Southampton, was found guilty of murdering Henry Nowak, a 23-year-old student from Poland. Digwa claimed Nowak had committed racist abuse against him, but it was revealed he lied and ignored fatal wounds inflicted by his victim handcuffed to police.
A Sikh man, Vickrum Digwa, was found guilty of murder by a Southampton Crown Court jury. He killed Henry Nowak , a 23-year-old student, in Southampton, England, in December 2025.
Digwa insisted that Nowak had committed racist abuse against him, but the jury found this lie to be false. Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, was also found guilty of assisting an offender in covering up the murder. The case sparked protests against 'two tier policing' outside Southampton Central Police Station. The judge has set Digwa's sentencing for Monday, while Kaur's sentencing is scheduled for July 17th.
The BBC reports a visibly upset Kaur and 'sobs' from the public gallery. Watcher organizations have demanded the release of the footage presented to the jury, highlighting the lack of action by police to save Nowak despite his pleas for help. Police apologized for arresting Nowaks at the scene of the crime, as officers were misled by Digwa about the nature of the attack. Henry's final conscious moments were spent handcuffed, pleading for help from the police who ignored him.
Professor Law tweeted, 'Sorry isn't good enough' in response to the apology, highlighting the resistance to public understanding of the case and its potential impact on 'two tier policing' and accountability
