Vickrum Digwa, a British Sikh man, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Henry Nowak, who was killed on December 3, 2025, in Southampton. A jury found Digwa guilty of the murder. The minimum term before he is eligible for parole is 21 years, as confirmed by multiple sources. The UK’s Solicitor General referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. The Solicitor General stated that difficult questions need to be answered about the way the police handled Henry Nowak’s murder. One report from the Guardian stated that Digwa stabbed Nowak multiple times and that the minimum term was initially reported as 20 years; this conflicts with the 21-year term confirmed by other sources.
